Nope there is no direct way as in general there are 3 types of mobile devices
  • without capability of internet access (old phones)
  • internet access, but no internet browser just simple parser (most of current phones)
  • internet access and mobile internet browser ( number of Windows CE based phones, some Symbian, Blackberry, HTC, iPhone etc. )
First group is out of loop as there is no internet
Second group will require simplified version of your web site based on WAP
Last group will be happy browsing normal page

Get (WURFL it needs PHP) or create browser/device detection algorithm and based upon this you can re-direct devices to your sub-domain specially designed for mobile devices

Hai,
Your reply helped me to know how to identify the browser. But I am very new to this.
I found the solution in the following webpage
http://mobiforge.com/developing/stor...-detection-asp

My question is how do I complete the code...the part: Whether I need to write a separate code for mobiles(???) and separate one for desktop browsers.


if($mobile_browser>0) {
// do something
// YES MOBILE
}
else {
// do something else
// NOT MOBILE
}

Thanks
Seetha

As I mention previously you would do best if you keep mobile content in sub-domain (if your domain is for example seetha.com you should get sub-domain like mobile.seetha.com or wap.seetha.com DO NOT FORGET TO SPEAK WITH YOUR HOSTING PROVIDER SO YOU KNOW THEIR POLICY ON THIS). So once the script recognise incoming request it will directed user to seetha.com/home.asp or mobile.seetha.com/home.wml respectively. From this point onward documents in desktop domain are linked between each other, but there is no cross linking with mobile domain

i had to do a similer project recently... found this bit of code and modified it a bit

ASP Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. Dim user_agent, mobile_browser, Regex, match, mobile_agents, mobile_ua, i, size
  2.  
  3. user_agent = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_USER_AGENT")
  4.  
  5. mobile_browser = 0
  6.  
  7. Set Regex = New RegExp
  8. With Regex
  9.    .Pattern = "(up.browser|up.link|mmp|symbian|smartphone|midp|wap|phone|windows ce|pda|mobile|mini|palm|mobi)"
  10.    .IgnoreCase = True
  11.    .Global = True
  12. End With
  13.  
  14. match = Regex.Test(user_agent)
  15.  
  16. If match Then mobile_browser = mobile_browser+1
  17.  
  18. If InStr(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_ACCEPT"), "application/vnd.wap.xhtml+xml") Or Not IsEmpty(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_X_PROFILE")) Or Not IsEmpty(Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_PROFILE")) Then
  19.    mobile_browser = mobile_browser+1
  20. end If
  21.  
  22. mobile_agents = Array("w3c ", "acs-", "alav", "alca", "amoi", "audi", "avan", "benq", "bird", "blac", "blaz", "brew", "cell", "cldc", "cmd-", "dang", "doco", "eric", "hipt", "inno", "ipaq", "java", "jigs", "kddi", "keji", "leno", "lg-c", "lg-d", "lg-g", "lge-", "maui", "maxo", "midp", "mits", "mmef", "mobi", "mot-", "moto", "mwbp", "nec-", "newt", "noki", "operamini", "palm", "pana", "pant", "phil", "play", "port", "prox", "qwap", "sage", "sams", "sany", "sch-", "sec-", "send", "seri", "sgh-", "shar", "sie-", "siem", "smal", "smar", "sony", "sph-", "symb", "t-mo", "teli", "tim-", "tosh", "tsm-", "upg1", "upsi", "vk-v", "voda", "wap-", "wapa", "wapi", "wapp", "wapr", "webc", "winw", "winw", "xda", "xda-", "opera mobi")
  23. size = Ubound(mobile_agents)
  24. mobile_ua = LCase(Left(user_agent, 4))
  25.  
  26. For i=0 To size
  27.    If mobile_agents(i) = mobile_ua Then
  28.       mobile_browser = mobile_browser+1
  29.       Exit For
  30.    End If
  31. Next
  32.  
  33.  
  34. If mobile_browser>0 Then
  35.    response.write("mobile")
  36.    else
  37.    Response.Write("normal")
  38. End If

asp_see

you will need to detect the client device and then redirect to your sub domain and most importantly you need to rewrite all code for the display logic but still you can use your existing code for programming.

You will be required to use Mobile controls for you application interface.
