Hello,

I have a question about how/the best way to redirect to a subdomain.

However, i only want it to redirect to a subdomain when the site is accessed by a mobile device.

I have tried some things and they have not been working.

Ex.

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
if (screen.width <= 700) {
window.location = "http://m.yourdomain.com";
}
//-->
</script>


I added this to the header tags of my html and it does not work when i test it...

your code looks fine to me, but....

a different method would be to examine their useragent string and see what browser they are using, although this would be messy

ok thanks ill try that..

although, i was testing this on iOS.


I do remember in researching that an htaccess file code could be better for detecting a mobile device than javascript.

I also found this.

I would think i would download the "javascript" one.

where would i place that code? it downloads as a text doc.

different ways to do this

you can use the meta refresh html code to handle this

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="N; URL=other-web-address">

which is included in the head portion of your code. you can also use htaccess to do this via

Redirect /courses/2007spring/PHY386/index.html http://www.pa.msu.edu/people/username/subdir/index.htm

javascript isnt a very good way to handle this. and some portable web browsers and almost all normal browsers with noscript install block java and javascript on the spot.

oh that's a good point
