I'm a newbie to mobile design. I have CS5.5.
I have taken the adobe lesson on how to create websites that scale for mobile, tablet and pc views.

That means the index page will show a particular view depending on what device is accessing the page.
Can anyone tell me if the entire webpage loads to a mobile device or if it is just the portion designated for mobile phones in the css style sheet?
There is a separate css style sheet for the mobile view, but it is only made to override portions of the index page css.
Thanks!!!
Depends on the device and the CSS code you used. Can you post a link to your page?
Experts usually agree that pages designed for Smartphones should have touch-screen friendly menus, smaller images (if any) and only essential content. This usually means a scaled down version of the desktop site with non-essential content set to display:none.

Thank you.
I have taken the Adobe tutorial and made a website that displays at about 320px for mobile, and if you stretch that window to 768 it then pops into a layout for tablet and of you stretch that window to full size it is a desktop layout.
My question is this.
If someone with a mobile phone goes to the website and the layout displays at the 320px layout...
...do they have to wait for the weight of the other two sizes (mobile and desktop) to also load along with the mobile view?
Or is it just the data, images, etc that show in the mobile size?
I need to make fancy (image heavy) desktop index pages that scale to the tablet and the mobile sizes depending on what device accesses the page
Pls view it in an HTML5 compatible browser.
If you look at it in full size the content is about 1126 wide.
Drag the edge of the window until it scales down to tablet. About 768 pixels.
Then drag it really narrow until the mobile version shows.
Does the weight of all the sizes load into the mobile view when someone with a mobile phone goes to the site?
Or will it hang up the mobile view because all the pixel heavy, fancy scmancy stuff in the large desktop view loads (unseen) along with the mobile view?
Thanks!
