How to increase reach of Ajax based websites to small screen cell phones
Filed in archive AJAX , Information About by gautam on September 9, 2008

Though the penetration of cell phones is much more than the computers but still it's not the preferred choice for browsing. With most of the people using low and mid range handsets it becomes a challenge to browse websites on such small screens.

Realizing this problem OpenAjax Alliance has come up with guidelines for implementingAjax based applications for cell phones. Here the problem can be solved by reconfiguring CSS so that it can be loaded on the cell phones in a proper manner. One will have to twist CSS to suit the needs of cell phones as CSS working normally on computers may not be able to solve the purpose out here.

XSLT comes into picture out here which ensures that information is loaded on the server and this would not place any kind of pressure on the cell phones because even high end handsets cannot manage speed beyond 400 MHz and XSLT is expected to minimize the load on client side. Reconfigured CSS will be adapted by the small screen of your mobile phone and even thought it may mean extra work for the developer but it would maximize your website's reach among mobile users too.
