Javascript and mobile phones

I have been working on a new project to compliment my main website here- ultimatehandyman.org

Over the last few days I have been getting the site ready and making mods and I thought that a line of nice blue buttons, that change to red on mouse over would look good and so I made a row of about 9 buttons and added alt tags, thinking that it would be good for all users.

How wrong was I

The buttons look ok on most computers, but when I tested it on my girlfriends phone I was in shock to find that the buttons that I worked so hard on could not be seen on the Nokia N73

It just comes up with a funny symbol and even the alt tags do not appear

I'd like some webmasters opinions on this please, should I completely re-do the line of links and use something like css or should I just leave the buttons as they are, or is there another alternative?

Thanks in advance

May I ask why did you use javascript for the simple menu? All you are doing there is changing background color.

Same exact menu you can make with regular HTML list and CSS.

This is also very bad decision from the seo point of view.

I think I have realised my mistake now, where is the embarresed smiley when you need it!

I tried having a play with a css title bar, but for some reason I could not get the link text to go to white, it kept coming up as blue and I could not make it white

I'll have a look for a good css tutorial on the net tonight and see if I can suss it out.

Thanks for the reply

Very simple:

Your_top_menu a, Your_top_menu a:visited
{
   color:#fff;
}

Your_top_menu a:hover
{
   color:#000;
}

Just adjust colors to your liking...

Thanks I have sorted it now, I just have a few different ones to make now for the rest of my site.

Thanks again
