sorry, i should have posted some info.

basically, this is useful A List Apart: Articles: Pocket-Sized Design: Taking Your Website to the Small Screen and would represent most of the info i followed from this and other sources. my page was a lot easier to work with than most however as it was composed of only two simple div's, one of which called an iframe which was not necessary for the pda version. the detection im using is css mediatype and from initial testing on 3 pda's it worked 3 times.
