   I have a client with a site that has a mobile subdomain.

   There are a number of ways to redirect and an unholy number of devices.

What I thought was to through up a large mobile type link once. There is 
a mobile link in a normal font elsewhere.

So:

function runSwitchLink(){
	if(window.screen.width < 800){
		if(!document.getCookie('asked')){
			document.write('<a href="javascript:location.href=' + 
"'http://mobile.some-site.com/mobile_redirect.php'" + '" 
class="asked">Switch to Mobile Site</a>');
		
			document.cookie = 'asked=yes;path=/';
			}
	}
}

runSwitchLink();

// document.getCookie defined elsewhere

Site requires cookies (cart), so cookies off is not an issue.

I think screen.width takes into account dppx oversampling, and I think 
it is available always, even before page load. Is this right?

Other ideas?

Jeff
