OT: html coding question - Thanks

[Kevin Fries]

I would add one thing to that skeleton.   Add a link that sets a session
variable $req_pc, default it to false.  Allow a link that will set it
true.  Then, anywhere you detect like this, only do the detected behavior
when $req_pc is false, otherwise send your default "pc" or "desktop"
version.
