Can websites using CSS be correctly shown in feature phones?

I was wondering if the html tag:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="template/style.css">

Can the stylesheet be loaded correctly on feature phones?

Solution

  • Like Quentin says, it depends on what's in the stylesheet. Feature / dumb phones have varying CSS support, so you'd need to do a bit of research. Something to get you started:

    http://www.developer.nokia.com/Resources/Library/Web/#!nokia-browsers/symbian-browsers/css-3-support.html

    A list of CSS3 properties Nokia's Symbian browser can support. Sure there's a lot more stuff like this floating around. If you didn't already know, Symbian's an OS used on phones such as the N95 (last non-smartphone I owned)

    Unfortunately stuff like media queries that you'd use for modern responsive design are often pretty shaky on these platforms from my experience. Hope that helps!
