What is the best way to develop a website for mobile devices? I can’t seem to find a simulator/emulator for the mobile devices. Is there any way to edit the CSS from the mobile device like firebug? I am just looking for tips on how to develop for the phone because for some odd reason my website acts oddly on the iPhone and Droid.

I would recommend you to use a framework for mobile development (such as http://jquerymobile.com/). In that way you are sure to make a website that will perform well on many mobile devices.
For debug purpose, why don’t you try to use an Android virtual device?

You got it when you download the android sdk or the eclipse ADT
plugin to develop android apps.
You can also have a look to the Blackberry simulator:

To get an Iphone simulator I think that it is mandatory to have a mac.
It is a part of the IOS SDK called iOS Simulator (that you install in XCode).
I think anyway that there exists many less cumbersome way to test your code.
