Booth,

Maybe I'm the one that's lost.. but how is any of this a "one size fits
all" solution? I don't quite understand that reference to this discussion
and the pages that have been given as examples.

I realize now that I stepped into the middle of a debate that has gone on
for some time. My understanding was limited, and my appreciation is
masked by my own limitations.

I still do not understand the desire for a one-size-fits-all solution. The
limitations to the design choices are just too overwhelming to make that a
practical goal. In my opinion.

But so what. That is not any part of this discussion. Sorry for the
intrusion.

I don't really understand the point you were trying to make To be
honest. Your page just shows an example of a menu system - nothing new
there. But this thread is about how the look and feel responds when
delivered on a smaller device. Yours doesn't "respond" at all - it is just
the same page on a small screen. Having the menu collapse into a three bar
button is a common, intuitive approach - so the idea was for you to view
and assess it on such a device. You don't get "hover" and "tooltip" when
you are using your finger to operate a mobile touch screen. Also, you
don't necessarily have to sacrifice functionality - you just need to be
clever enough to modify the UI to suit the screen size, which includes
collapsing widgets and bigger text.
