Use
The GET_TABLE_SUPPORTED method specifies whether or not a mobile device interprets the <table> tag in such a way that multiple columns can be displayed side by side.
Features
Tables are a crucial element for the clear layout of Web applications. It is essential that you define the number of columns in a table using the tag attribute columns.
For example, there are mobile devices that can only display one column on each page. So, for example, WAP-enabled Nokia devices do not interpret tables in the usual way. For these devices, the platform-specific value is set for false, because the contents of the columns are not displayed side by side but below one another. The layout becomes too complex and you can no longer correctly assign the column values.
However, an Openwave browser displays the tables in the usual way – that is, it displays columns side by side.
If a mobile device does not meet the condition, because it does not support the <table> tag, another display type for the structure of the Web application should be selected (see example). For some devices, you can use lists instead of tables.
