RE: [IUG] Use of PHP scripts/pages in INNOPAC

["Adam Brin" <abrin at brynmawr dot edu>]

The first thing I'd look at is using, though you may well have tried it, the
css media tag for handheld to hide certain elements and scale others, eg:

<LINK rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" 
	 media="handheld" href="iiihandheld.css">

See here for more info:

http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/media.html

Alternately, you could test for certain browser types and use javascript to
turn off/on certain html elements by ID or css class.


Sorry I can't be more help,

Hi

What we are actually trying to do is set up pages such as the patron 
authentication page (pverify2_web.html) so that when someone accesses 
the page with a wireless device, that a script runs and changes the look 
of the page so that it fits on the screen of a wireless device more 
effectively.  We are thinking that the ILL introductory screens might be 
able to run this script as well.  Maybe we will have to see about using 
javascript, but I don't know if this this would work or not.. It is 
basically an auto-detect process as I understand it from our 
programmer.  We have changed our many of our main library pages that 
aren't on the INNOPAC server to php pages.

We have airpac and this works fine, but sometimes Blackberry devices in 
particular don't create the page like other PDAs do  They move the top 
and bottom logos around and have other challenges. 

If you have had any success making other screens work well for wireless 
devices, I would be interested to hear from you.
