    Converting site for mobile view

    Hi everyone,

    OK i am having a few teething problems with getting this sorted,

    I have gone to Google and converted my site to a friendly mobile viewer and now i want to add this to my site, but the problem is when i add a new page it automatically adds the http:// of my site first, then when i try to add the link that was generated by Google conversion i can not?

    So how do i get this to work please?

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Thanks

    Brett.

    Hi and thanks for your reply,

    I am using Google here: http://www.google.com/gwt/n and this is what i get Mobile Exchange swap,sell or buy mobile phones is this what i should be doing? or is it wrong?

    Then what i want to do is add a page to my site Mobile Exchange swap,sell or buy mobile phones and when it is added to the nav bar at the top i wanted it to be clickable so that the user can go straight to a mobile friendly view page of my website, but when i add another page it automatically adds the mobileexchange domain first then a box so i can name the page instead of a number,
    So what i have had to do now is just place a link on the home page saying "View our site on a mobile device here"

    Any ideas ?

    Thanks,
    Brett.

    Try a search in Google for code (javascript is probably easiest) that looks to see if the user is mobile then redirect them to the mobile site. Also, have a link in the footer so the user can view standard site if they want
