Mobile website layouts

A couple of handy things to remember when creating mobile websites.

A proper DOCTYPE to pick from to make layouts adapt nicely on a mobile screen:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN"
"http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.1//EN"
"http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile11.dtd">
 
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.2//EN"
"http://www.openmobilealliance.org/tech/DTD/xhtml-mobile12.dtd">


A meta tag for avoiding unnecessary scrolling and creating a "perfect fit":
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width,user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0" />
