You probably would need to specify the site - as it probably is a
matter of bad jasvascript code that someone more knowledgable than me
could comment on. I know from my iPaq (PDA) running Windows Mobile,
many sites buttons just don't work. My presumption has been that IE on
Windows Explorer only has a subset of the standard Javascript
functionality. I am guessing it probably also applies to your choice
of Linux powered web browsers.
I would have thought that the number of users now trying to browse
from phone-like and PDA-like devices would have driven web framework
and web developers to think more about a diverse userbase, but they
still seem to cater for only the top 2 or 3 browser platforms and
think everyone is running a cinematic widescreen. (And that doesn't
even talk about accessibility issues for screen readers, different
languages, etc)
