Description Chad H. 2009-03-27 20:14:58 UTC 
As reported on IRC:

Enabling $wgHandheldForIPhone seems to break Monobook-based skins and cause them to not load their CSS. Non MB-skins seem to be unaffected, and non-IE browsers seem unaffected.

Adding Brion as a CC since the skin updates for the iPhone were his baby.
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2009-03-27 20:58:06 UTC 
Per notes on http://www.alistapart.com/comments/returnofthemobilestylesheet/?page=3 and elsewhere it looks like IE doesn't handle media type specifications properly; a CSS 2 browser *should* see the 'screen' in the 'screen and (min-device-width: 481px)' and render that style for screen.

Annoyingly there's no sign of this information on Apple's docs which recommend the CSS3 media query in the first place: http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/OptimizingforSafarioniPhone/chapter_3_section_2.html

IE conditional comments can be used to work around this by listing a media-less <link> for IE and the media-queried ones for everyone else.

Alternately, we could move to a model where iPhone and similar high-end mobile browsers get a _supplemental_ style sheet which adjusts some sizes and such instead of the completely separate handheld-only style. This might actually be ideal, since we have a completely separate web gateway for a fully-handheld-optimized version of the site.

Adding IE tracking bug.
Comment 3 Siebrand Mazeland 2009-06-04 11:09:04 UTC 
Update Web browser (assuming IE7 here).
Comment 4 Siebrand Mazeland 2009-06-04 11:35:37 UTC 
Adding testme. Please test with Internet Explorer 8 and note the result here.
