Trivially Make Your Site Work on Mobile? Yes, Please!


Want a super easy way to drastically improve your web site's usability on mobile browsers? Quit using CSS overlay popup windows, ie "pop-ins".

It's bad enough that they've always been a terrible practice on desktop browsers (it's a trivial way to guarantee breaking basic browser functionality like back/forward/linking/etc). But on mobile browsers they completely break scrolling and result in pages that are completely unusable. (<-- Follow that link on a mobile browser and then try any of the "Read more" links)

So get rid of CSS overlay popup windows (pop-ins), replace them will full-fledged pages, and your site will instantly improve on desktop browsers and suddenly become usable on mobile browsers.
