Opera Software Brings Its Browser to Mobile Phones
13Echo writes "Now this is cool! Opera Software has presented a technology today that solves the problems of web pages on small screens. They have created a small-screen HTML rendering technique that slightly reformats web pages to fit within the bounds of small displays. Some screenshots can be found here along with extra details as to how they do it. A full press release can be found here. As a result, horizontal scrollbars are not needed, and it even features zooming abilities for magnifying web pages."
Because somethign a fuckwitr like you doens't understand is designers don't sit in photoshop all day thinking of new ways to make their buttons look like the Apple aqua buttons. We communicate ideas using typography and/or images that convey a message. Allowing users to realign tabled data is stupid. Yes tables are great for layout, but they can be used to actually build a table of data...**GASP*** [music: dum dum dummmmmm...] Oh my fucking god, you mean tables can be used to convey data which actually belongs in a table? How the fuck does Opera know the intent of MY fucking design layout? Pull your head out of your ass and wake up. There is more to this world that YOU and your concerns. Quit generalizing...ooop, I forgot this was Slashdot, the place where facts aren't welcome and generalizations and stereotypes reign supreme. Go ahead and stick your head back in your ass. Sorry for disturbing your world.
You know what? I would love to use CSS and nothing else but there is this problem of clients wanting their customers to view their web pages. That menas older browsers. But thanks Captain obvious for pointing out the W3C specs. Why didn't I think of reading those? Oh, yeah. I already did. In fact, I've been reading them since the HTML 1.0 specs. Just because you'r enew to the internet doesn't mean all of us are. I've been designing web pages since Netscape was a beta.
