I would like to add a “request desktop site” option on a rails website based on the twitter bootstrap framework.
Using twitter bootstrap the “desktop view” option in android browser (and probably other mobile browsers) is ignored.
I would like to give mobile users an option to fake a standard 1280×800 (or similar) resolution if the user requests it, ignoring the responsive design.
Is this implementable in a rails app?
In theory, you could put all media queries in separate .less files (I think most media queries are in the files that beginning with ‘responsive’). Then have two different versions of the CSS to serve up. One that everyone gets with the responsive CSS, the other that users who click the “desktop” view when they are on their mobile.
