Spider.my simple mobile version

Spider.my mobile search on my Nokia 6500 Classic
Spider.my really wasn’t working very well on any of our mobile phones (handphones as they’re called in Malaysia), as the search had been using a terrible cross-domain javascript hack to fetch results from the back-end. A couple of things I’ve been doing recently makes that more or less redundant, so a few simple pages that work ‘well-enough’ on a mobile phone should be straightforward. A very cut-down search page is now available at http://spider.my/m/search.xhtml as well as redirects at spider.my/m and spider.my/m/.
I’m trying to adhere as much as possible to the W3’s Mobile Web Best Practices guide which seems both informative and well-written. It’s definitely worth a read if you’re starting out in developing webs for mobile phones!
