Smart-fit table wrapping trouble

The “smartfit” feature in newer Sony Ericssons can be a pain in the ass some times. Especially when you want the text to display nicely next to an image. Heres a trick to fix that.

OK table

imgThis text should be be displayed right to the image (left) and not be wrapped.

Not ok table

imgThis text should be be displayed right to the image (left) and not be wrapped.

The secret is to adda “width:” css style to the table cells. For example td{width:50%;}

Best viewed with a Sony Ericsson K850 or similar. Webkits work fine on this issue.

Define the mobile context

I do not like the term "one web"… It implies that there is a 1:1 relationship between mobile web and desktop web. That is misleading (my interpretation probably differs from yours as well) and causes unnecessary discussions. Jo Rabins post is very good and important, but should not have been necessary. Of course there is one web! Would be silly to build a brand new one just for handheld devices. However, the point is; don't think your desktop web site will work on mobile, don't copy your desktop web site onto the mobile, don't set up brand new infrastructure only for the mobile.
