Thanks for the great meeting last night. Again, I'm sorry I had to
leave early.

Drew: I learned two new things. Thank you for sharing the Safari
Develop menu setting. For those of you who didn't make it to the
meeting - open Safari, go to the Preferences, click on Advanced, and
then check the "Show Develop menu in menu bar." The IE6 hack
filterprogid:DXImage.Transform.AlphaImage Loader(src='../
pathtoimages/') was also very helpful - here's a link I found on how
to do it: http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/alpha.html.

Patrick: thanks for showing us how to check our sites in iPhone format
and how to create a couple of different looks using stylesheets.
Recap: if you don't have an iPhone, using the iPhone Simulator via the
iPhone SDK is the most realistic (in fact it's ahead of the game as
it's rendering how the 3G iPhone web browser will look on July 11th).
To set up iPhone styles add the following:

<meta content="width=850" name="viewport" /> (the width is something
you will have to play around with)
<link href="location-of-stylesheet" media="only screen and (max-device-
width:480px)" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

It was fun - can't wait until the next meeting.

Ericka

P.S. The Bajito (Session?) beer was yummy.

Hey... we're glad you could make it, Ericka!

Next time... we'll definitely have more folks at the meetup, but the
smaller group definitely made for a more enjoyable evening. :)
