The browser reports its version, as well as the size of the computer's display, to the website each time it requests a file. Chris uses php scripts that react according to that info. The only browsers reporting 240x320 displays would of course be on Pocket PC's.
Dan, if the screen size check was the case, then my HPC should be brough up as a regular pc, which it is not. My question is, is there a way that you could give the option of whether I want to use the desktop or ppc version. I ask this because ofter the desktop version looks better on my 720.
It also reports the OS version, so he must be using that. Here is how my W2k laptop with IE 6.0 appears to a webserver:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)
Now my iPaq:
Mozilla/2.0 (compatible; MSIE 3.02; Windows CE; 240x320)
BTW, you can edit the registry to make PIE report that it is a different browser. You could go that route until Chris changes it to check screen size.
Here's another tidbit. PIE is not smart enough to check the display size when it sends http requests. If you use a program like JS Landscape to chanage the screen size, PIE will still report 240x320.
