They're also using iWebkit CSS, so they need to add the prefixless variants (or solid background fallback colors) anywhere they have -webkit-gradient in http://realmobile.gr/css/style.css.

Just noticed another issue too, they redirect B2G to the desktop site via http://realmobile.gr/javascript/redirection.js:

if(!DetectIphone() && !DetectIpod() && !DetectAndroid() && !DetectWindowsMobile())
{
  if(DetectS60OssBrowser() || DetectBlackBerry() || DetectWindowsMob_2()){
  	//alert('Simple mSite!');
  	window.location = 'http://www.realmobile.gr/msimple'
  }else
  {
  	//alert('Desktop Browser!');
  	window.location = 'http://www.real.gr'
  }
}

They could add a generic DetectMobile function like so:

//**************************
// Detects if the current device is a mobile device.
function DetectMobile()
{
   if (uagent.search("mobi") > -1)
      return true;
   else
      return false;
}

and then add that to (!DetectMobile() && !DetectIphone() && !DetectIpod() && !DetectAndroid() && !DetectWindowsMobile())

Thanos,

Another possible contact.
Angelos Agiostratitis is a designer there. It could be another way to reach them out.

Still the same as of today.
Switching back to [needscontact]
Still trying the contact above in case.

Still an issue. Automated analysis finds two elements that are styled differently in Gecko and WebKit (note that these are not the selectors used in the CSS):

 * In Webkit: html body.list div#content ul#articles li.withimage a.noeffect[href="http://realmobile.gr/article_details.php?ID=438141&catID=11"]{ backgroundImage: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(rgb(255, 255, 255)), to(rgb(240, 240, 240))) } - in Gecko: backgroundImage:None


 * In Webkit: html body.list div#content ul#articles li.withimage a.noeffect[href="http://realmobile.gr/article_details.php?ID=438191&catID=11"]{ backgroundImage: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(rgb(255, 255, 255)), to(rgb(240, 240, 240))) } - in Gecko: backgroundImage:None

Thanos, is this site important? If it's important enough we should keep it open and continue trying, otherwise we might want to close the bug.

Comment 9

[Thanos Lefteris [:alefteris]]

Kind of difficult to define what makes a site important or not. But since it's been so long and they haven't been responsive, we could close it.

With the usual grain of salt about Alexa's results

Alexa Rank for realmobile.gr
3,497,862 Global (And this is just an estimate)

Comment 11

[Karl Dubost💡 :karlcow]

On desktop realmobile.gr redirects to http://www.real.gr/default.aspx?page=home

Global rank:  9,171 
Rank in Greece: 104
Which is a lot more significant.

On Firefox Android with version number and CSS unprefixing services enabled, 
   layout.css.unprefixing-service.enabled; false -> true
we receive a working site.
