My apologies...I got confused since you were posting in here. I almost have my issue resolved minus the fact that I cannot get the footer and back to top button to stay at the bottom of my mobile screen. I blocked the content from showing and am just using a menu...since there is no content, its positioning the footer up high and covering part of the menu.
COOL: Thanks a lot fo looking into it. I have sent Denis an email with the ftp details. Hope it wil help resolving the problem as this is my first mobile joomla on a Joomla 2.5.x site.
Mtech: I'm happy you're on the rite track with this, I know how annoying it can be not getting any help. Hopefully you will learn how to set this up now and how it works with menus and suffixes and all.

LAMF...no problem...you have been a great HUGE help to me. I am somewhat grasping the concept of how it works...pieces are starting to fall into place.
I have already tried changing it in the mobile templates to Bottom Module #3. I went into Module Manager and disabled the mod_footer, however, no change. Its apparently not the joomla footer module. Its the back to top and standard version | mobile version footer that is covering part of the menu.
Sincere thanks
Jeremy

You're welcome Jeremy!

Still no luck as of yet with making the Standard Version | Mobile Version links and the Back to Top link stay at the bottom under the menu. Even disabling the footer doesn't do it either.
Any more ideas? Thanks!

Jeremy,
I am out of good ideas but maybe if you looka at the aite in Firefox and use Firebug you could see if there's any strange coding in the css that makes it being pushed to the bottom.

Hey again,
Checked your coding and your problem is simply to go into the modules manager and go into the Select markup module and set it to the position mj_all_footer.
As it is now it is placed in the content (middlde) position.
Another thing that might add a wee better look is if you took away the top banner.
To do that you do like this:
in the css/mj_xhtml.css file go to this section:
And change it to:
Then I would suggest you to change this lines in the same file:
to
Maybe you want a logo header instead?
Or just change the color of the Header text?
To change the color you just add this line in the h1, div.h1 code above:
color: #99CC66; (this gives the green colour you use on the Welcome text in the standard site.
If you want a logo header you go into the modules manager of joomla again and into the Mobile header module and set up the Show picture/image instead of Text.
Then in the field Header img URL: add this line:
{{root}}templates/mobile_smartphone/resources/images/my_logo.png
Where my logo is the logo file name, you just replace it with the real logo img file (preferably in png or gif format if you need transparency or png,jpg or gif if it's just a flat image).
It should be something like 250px wide to fit nicely in the mobile screen when watching it in the narrow view.
If you go through this thread I would say it's the closest you can get to a tutorial on how to stylish the MJ for a smartphone (or iPhone it isn't that much different).
Good luck!

Unfortunately Select markup is already set to mj_all_footer. As far as the look is concerned I will definitely look at trying out your suggestions. I really am trying to get the first issue figured out first. Its Back to thinking for me.
The Select markup controls the standard and mobile version links and I can disable that. Problem is that a back to top bar spans the width of the device screen. That's what I can't seem to find out how to disable.
Thanks

Sorry for now I'm out of any good suggestions.
