  2. The “Responsive Content”:http://stephanfowler.github.com/responsive-content/ jQuery plugin is an approach which works in a “coarse grained” way, ajax-loading an entire HTML fragment into the page, given current window width (and pixel density). It can be used to tell the server to supply appropriately sized image src URLs etc.

    It’s a fork of Github’s Pjax loader. It does not rely on User Agent or cookies – just window width.

  5. How do would you appreciate these 2 solutions to download only the small images when needed (Smartphone, iPhone, Android)
    1) Use $_SERVER(‘HTTP_USER_AGENT’) in the server script to detect that it is not a PC
    2) Have a main page that detects the screen size and pass it in the URI for subsequent pages.
