I'm writing a web application for display on smartphones and multimedia phones. If I go with the default web page size then the phone resizes the page so small that it is impossible to read the text. Fixing the width of the objects on the page to 200 px
wide has no effect. The device still tries to display the entire page.
So I'd like to find a way to force all the pages to be no more than 200 px wide.
Fixing the height and width of the page is not good practice in web page designing. Instead, you can check the following websites to make the page visible perfectly fine.

Is that possible?

Hi,
Fixing the height and width of the page is not good practice in web page designing. Instead, you can check the following websites to make the page visible perfectly fine.
For iPhone, check the following link,

For BlackBerry, check the following link

For other mobiles, if you make the web page W3C compatible, it will render absolutely fine...
Hope it will solve your problem...
