Anyone have problems designing sites so they're compatible with cell phones?

I just finished a site with a flash slideshow of images below the nav bar on the homepage, but mostly the site is static html.  The client is complaining that the whole thing is coming up black on his Blackberry.  I don't have internet on my phone so I can't check it.  The site is sdesignsstore.com.
How can I avoid this?  This is a whole new area I haven't even thought of before, do you Dreamweavers take special precautions to make sure your sites are going to show up on cell phone browsers?
Thanks!

You can also use a "sniffer" to first check to see if they have flash - and if not, replace the flash element with a static image. There are several scripts you can use to accomplish - but there is also another less complicated way to accomplish as outlined on this forum: http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=544
Create a page using the static image for anyone who doesn't have flash (e.g. blackberry users) and make this the main page. Somewhere on that page place a 1x1 pixel flash movie which has an "onload" script that opens a secondary duplicate page -  on this page the static image is replaced with your flash slideshow. If the viewer doesn't have flash installed, the re-direct won't be read, and they will view the page with the static image. If they have flash, the page re-direct will happen so quickly that it's unlikely anyone will even notice they were redirected.
Hope that helps - as I mentioned there are also several scripts to be found that will autoreplace the image as well - this is not necessarily the most efficient method, but will get by in a pinch without too many headaches...

  • I was given a gift of an iPhone 5s in Saudi Arabia. I took it to Verizon who said they could not hook up the phone. Does anyone have any ideas about what I can do with the phone?  It is new and unopened

    I was gifted an I phone 5s in Saudi Arabia. Took it to the Verizon store. The sales rep told me I could not use it.  Any suggestions?

    If it's a legitimately unlocked iPhone, you can use it on AT&T or T-Mobile if you like. You can not bring your own iPhone to any CDMA carrier (Verizon, Sprint, etc).
    If it was originally sold in the Middle East, Facetime is permanently disabled.

  • Does anyone have problems with hotspot connections or WLAN since they have installed Lion?

    Does anyone have problems with hotspot connections or WLAN since they have installed Lion?

    Same problem for me: Since update to Lion my WLAN connection to my router (AVM fritz!box fon 7141) get's lost almost every time the computer is on idle for a couple of minutes. Deactivating and reactivating helps, but of course only until the problem occurs again.
    BTW: I'm running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.3) on a iMac 27" 3.2 GHz i3 (mid 2010 model).
    I'm really annoyed by this problem and looking forward for APPLES fix.

  • TS1702 Does anyone have problems on their iPad with the Pinball HD Collection freezing up on the screen regularly.as I am having it happen and it's annoying to cancel and reinstall.

    Does anyone have problems on their IPad 2 with an app called Pinball HD Collection freezing up on a regular basis and I then have to remove the app and then reinstall it. Most frustrating

    Thankyou, but the shop said that they spoken to apple and that they have now changed their policy and that they do not give a replacement.  So are you telling me that their information is false.  Also what should they have done.  This problem has existed since i bought it.?????  What should i do?????

  • Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie?

    Does anyone have problems with iTunes movie rentals freezing in the middle of the movie, requiring a force quit, which causes your rental to disappear? This has happened multiple times to me recently. Last time Apple didn't refund my money after reporting the problem. I have been using iTunes for many years but am about to give up.

    Correction: I was refunded for the previous movie freeze.

    Anyone have problems getting Office 2004 to run after Lion upgrade?

    For the rare few, such as myself, who have some Office 2004 or older documents that fail to translate well in Office 2011, another option is to run Office 2004 in Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) installed in Parallels:

    Does anyone have problems with sent messages not showing in their Mail? I have two sent folders when really I only want one. Any tips?

    Not sure if this is a fix, but I tried sending myself a test email from only  the Bcc field, and lo and behold it now shows the Bcc field in all sent item previews;
    ...maybe leaving the 'To' field blank on purpose forced Mail to show it.
    Rebooted the Mail program, still there - rebooted the machine, still there. Hope this is still relevant and it works for you too - J.

    Does anyone have any idea of when they might support Sigma raw?

    Hello:
    No one here has any clue if or when.  Apple is very "close-hold" about upcoming changes or enhancements.
    I am not being critical, but the TOU prohibit any of us from speculating about future Apple hardware/software plans.

  • Does anyone have problems with data usage with att and Iphone5?

    Hello, Does anyone have problems with data usage or non usage I should say with Iphone 5 and AT&T?

    After 4+ months of dealing with this data usage and battery drain problem that included 3 data captures of my wife's iMac, the trigger for us regarding the problems syncing with iCloud, and 5 hours of logs off my iPhone 6 to be analyzed by Apple engineers that included times my wife's computer was both on and off to demonstrate the difference in data usage and battery drain under those conditions, I can say with very reasonable certainty that the iOS 8.3 and corresponding Mac OS 10.10.3 update has solved the problem. 
    We have now been running for about 2 weeks and data usage with the iCloud Servers attempting to sync has dropped from a rate of 31 GBs to under 15 MBs per month.  Yes, you read it right.  We were burning 2000 times as much data doing absolutely nothing important on both of our phones, a 5s and a 6.  Just imagine what that does to battery life!  The 5s would last about 5 hours and the 6 was dead in less than 14.
    The distasteful aspect of this process was how the engineers were quietly fixing the problem at the same time sending messages to my contact person within Apple that were dismissive in nature in the face of indisputable unreasonable results. I must say, this experience with the multiple times the engineers' responses were inappropriate put a little tarnish on the old Apple shine of the ‘It just works’ mantra. This was my first experience in 34 years that caused me to stop recommending Apple products without reservations and with a disclaimer.
    Since the update solved the problem, then I can only conclude that there was a logic bug regarding the reaction within the process to the incoming data that was corrected.  There was noting short of logging out of iCloud that circumvented the problem for us, Gator5000e and probably many others noted on other threads.  I am not trying to imply that this is the cause of everyones battery use problem, but it is reasonable that it was a cause for many.

  • Does anyone have problems with iPhone 5 getting hot?

    Does anyone have problems with iPhone 5 getting hot? I just bought a new iPhone 5 & it's gotten hot twice. Once when I was on FaceTime for 30 min it got hot about 15 min into the call. & once when I was downloading some apps.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2101?viewlocale=en_US
    It is normal for it to get warm when it's being used, especially if it is hot outside. It can even get uncomfortably warm. As long as it is not causing you physical harm (as in giving you burns) or displaying a temperature warning, then it's normal behavior. It's like taking your laptop outside and using it. Except the laptop will probably burn you.
