Hi,
The problem with Javascript, is that it has to load the page first - to run the code. So what you are in fact doing, is loading the NORMAL page first, and then re-directing to the new mobile version.... so that would be pretty slow. If you are using "real" static files, then it may be worth looking at some rewrite rules in a .htaccess file to do the magic:
http://ohryan.ca/...te-rules-simplified/
So something like:
# if the browser accepts these mime-types, it's definitely mobile, or pretending to be
RewriteCond %{HTTP_ACCEPT} "text\/vnd\.wap\.wml|application\/vnd\.wap\.xhtml\+xml" [NC,OR]
# a bunch of user agent tests
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "sony|symbian|nokia|samsung|mobile|windows ce|epoc|opera" [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "mini|nitro|j2me|midp-|cldc-|netfront|mot|up\.browser|up\.link|audiovox"[NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "blackberry|ericsson,|panasonic|philips|sanyo|sharp|sie-"[NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "portalmmm|blazer|avantgo|danger|palm|series60|palmsource|pocketpc"[NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} "smartphone|rover|ipaq|au-mic,|alcatel|ericy|vodafone\/|wap1\.|wap2\.|iPhone|android"[NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://m.yoursite.com/$1 [R=302,L]
Then setup that sub-domain on your site, and create the following extra mod_rewrite rules in that new sub-domain:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif|js|css|xml|png|php|cgi|pl|JPG|GIF|BMP|flv|swf|xml)$
RewriteRule ^(.*).html /full/path/to/live/site/cgi-bin/page.cgi?g=$1.html;t=mobile [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif|js|css|xml|png|php|cgi|pl|JPG|GIF|BMP|flv|swf|xml)$
RewriteRule ^(.*).cgi /cgi-bin/$1.cgi?$1;t=mobile [L]
Totally untested, but hopefully it will get you on the right track. I can't really offer much more help, apart from doing it as a paid job
Cheers
