He wants to know if there's a specific string in the user agent header that he can search for to identify PocketPC browsers, so he can serve alternate content to them.

That can't be done with HTML - he'll need Javascript or a serverside language, such as PHP or ASP.

The user agent HTTP header is the header that contains a string of information on the browser that is requesting the page. For a Pocket PC 2002 version of pIE the header is "Mozilla/2.0 (compatible; MSIE 3.02; Windows CE; 240x320; PPC)". IE 5.5 on a Windows 2000 desktop returns the string "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0)."
