 Preview your pages in Device Central  

• Device Central previews web pages created in Dreamweaver using Opera's Small-Screen Rendering. This preview can give you a good idea of what a web page looks like on a mobile device.  Opera's Small-Screen Rendering may or may not be pre-installed on any individual emulated device. Device Central simply gives a preview of how the content would look if Opera's Small-Screen Rendering was installed.

• Opera's Small-Screen Rendering does not support frames, pop-ups, underlining, strikethrough, overlining, blink, and marquee. Try to avoid these design elements.

 Use CSS or HTML to specify an exact height and width for each image used

• Scaling down image sizes and reducing the number of colors required increase the chances that the images will appear as intended.  Provide alt text for all images. _The Opera software website is a good source of information about optimizing web pages for mobile devices.
