How do smartphones deal with javascript and other languages on websites

[dogboy]

I have an iPhone, and as rc recently brought up, it doesn't acknowledge Flash. I think we all know that one...

But I don't really know how it handles javascript either.... or any other language for that matter, when it encounters it on a regular web (non-mobile formatted) web page.  For all I know, I'm missing out on all sorts of functionality.  And while I'm sure it all depends on what phone and what code in particular, does anyone have any idea? Or am I doomed to buying a bunch of phones and trial and error?

Thx.  I was hoping you'd say that:) 

I've always been one of those complete Mac addicts (a.k.a. idiots) that can't work a PC that they make fun of in those 'I need an iPhone 4' cartoons (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bcryQUuDwM) ...so I have no idea how the majority of the world sees the Internet.

I also type with one finger and my thumb on the space bar, but that is another story:)

Have you seen Adobe's Device Central, which is bundled with Creative Studio?

Never used it myself, but it *sounds* like an alternative to buying a pile of handsets.

Don't know if anyone here is aware but you can be CS5 with a free upgrade to 5.5 from Software4Students if you have a kid at school primary/secondary/college/uni for really nice prices.  It is not for commercial use though.
