Questions about mobile script
 
I'm going to ask what is probably a rudimentary question, but since I'm new to the mobile world, here it goes;;)

I know that there is script that tells a website whether or not you are on a mobile phone.

I know I could find this script if I looked hard enough, however my question about it something quite different.

How does the script know where to send the viewer?

In other words, Lets say I'm working on a mobile site, and I am not the webmaster for the computer based site and have no access to it. However the existing webmaster has agreed to put this script on it.

Would I need to get a .mobi so the original site would know where to go, or does it not matter?

I was thinking of just creating a subdomain of my own site for this with their name but I don't know if that would confuse the script. (They are not worried about SEO).

Would this work?

You can place the mobile site anywhere. The redirect script just tells the device where to redirect the mobile user - the exct adress.

Within the script, you place the url of the site you want mobile viewers to be sent to.
