Submitting a form from a mobile device

[th1chsn]

Are there any special design considerations that need to be taken into account if I want to create a web form that is more "cell phone" friendly? For example, if I was an insurance company and I wanted to supply agents with an easy way to submit a claim from their phone.

Is it the same thing as designing a standard web form with just smaller dimensions so it fits nicer in the smaller screen of the phone?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

For a quick and easy way of viewing your pages the way they're displayed on a small screen, use the Opera browser - under the View menu, there's a 'small screen' option :)

If you use CSS the way its designed to be used - for presentation :) - then you can apply a media="handheld" stylesheet [w3.org]

you can also use the resize feature of the Web Developer add-on for firefox to test small screens.
you should also test with flash and javascript off unless you know they are supported on all platforms used.
