    Default viewing mobile varients

    Is there anyway to view the mobile variant of a web site to check that all is well with the layout before the whole site is exported or published to the web. Every time I preview the site it only shows the main page?

    If you are using chrome then use developers tools (ctrl+shift+i in windows) (ctrl+shift+m in firefox) and you can choose the device or as acorn suggests just make the browser smaller. But remember that there is no substitute to viewing on the actual device.

    Is that a suitable 'test-bed' (although obviously the best way is the device itself).
    Hope so as I plan on using it!
    Thanks,

    Just tried it with a couple of websites side by side with actual iphone and have to report that it's not a very good emulator.
