iPhone targeted CSS – An answer to the :hover issue?

Posted on : Thursday, 18 June, 2009

I have been worried for some time about how iPhones and other handheld devices can’t use the :hover functions I seem to rely on heavily for idicating links and giving extra information.

The answer could be over at http://squaregirl.com with just a few lines of CSS: 

@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) { 
  body {color:#000;}
}

As soon as I have a bit of time I am going to rectify this sites crappy handheld usability.

Great work!!!
