Thank you so much for replying! I didn't know that at all.

Where can I find information on this? I have made hundreds of google
searches concerning media types and the recognized media type names that
one should use, but I simply can't find anything. If "handheld" is the
wrong option, then what should I use? I guess there aren't any standards
for these media type names, are there? If not, what names do the user
agents *usually* recognize? Or should I just forget any PDA or
small-screen support?

I'm confused. Could someone please provide some information on using
media types and the strings UAs identify? There isn't any on the web. It
goes without saying that one can't write websites without media types,
unless they're just text-based grayscale ones without layout and image
sizes of 100x100 at most.

Thanks.
