Mobile template CSS

Someone who has a handheld device to view it will have to answer that.

I am viewing it in Opera (mini screen) and it isn't showing right...I presume this is an accurate test?

You have in your handheld_stylesheet.css

@media handheld {

which should only apply to media that recognize that @rule. Maybe it would help if you used the alternate rule in post 16.

Thanks again but this didn't work, just made it narrower. Its the top jquery slider thats not working as well as the header login strip...both are not scaling down (in width)?

Any more ideas?

Thanks

Did you actually replace
@media handheld {
with
@media all and (max-width: 320px) {

This would not change the display width of your site, it would just make it apply to all small windows.

I'm having the same problem. Interestingly, some elements scale, and others do not. For example, I use an image slider for my header. The images crop (but don't scale) to what appears to be an appropriate size, yet the directional graphical arrows to move to next/previous image, remain in an unmodified state. Other product images remain in large format size. I'm pretty clued in, but I'm not sure where to start with this one . . .

I am desperate to get a solution to this - here is my rant for those that want to listen:

I think a lot of people don't realise how important this issue is. One year ago, mobile traffic to our site amounted to less than 1.5 percent of our visitors. Over the last six months it accounted for 8.5 percent of traffic, but over the last month, this has grown to 12%. Because our site is not optimised for mobile, we have more than twice the bounce rate, AND most importantly, our conversion rate to buying customer is 40% of that for our not mobile visitors.

These lost opportunities, quite conservatively, will "cost" our small business more than $7200 this year, if the visitors from mobiles remains constant - which obviously nobody imagines will be the case.

When mobile visitors account for 20% of our traffic (which again I believe would be a very conservative estimate) at a constant sales volume, I figure it will cost us just over $12000 per year.

I think there are some massive opportunities for someone to monetise a workable mobile ZenCart platform. I urge anyone and everyone to take this seriously. If we come up with a shared freebie solution that is great, but we need to focus much more of our collective resources on this issue.

Rant over . . . ;)
