| I read an article on Sitepoint that said that the 960 grid system is dead because everyone has large monitors and mobile devices. Have you changed the way you design in light of this? Thanks. |

CSS and flexible sizing ha been around for years.

You are correct but now with the usage of smartphones there needs to be a system that actually collapses content to one column for easy reading.

An XHMTL MP document can use a WAP CSS (WCSS) style sheet. You can detect the usere agent via either javascript or code to determine the appropriate style sheet. The only tricky part is that the WCSS file will get retrieved after the XHMTL MP document and should be kept small and simple to expedite the display. The WCSS file will not be kept in the browser cache and will get downloaded for each page.
