Lightweight backpack viewer for mobiles/portables!

Discuss TF2! Or don't. Whatever takes your fancy.

Made this in my boredom. It's like "TF2 Backpack Examiner" but simplified for use on mobile phones with small screens. Now you can check and show backpacks while on the go.

To make up for the fact that there's no images, the itemboxes are color-coded depending on the classes. I tried to choose colors that wouldn't strain on the eyes... but I'm not 100% sure about the colors. ;) I'm considering to add a argument to make all boxes appear with default colors... but I don't think that's necessary.

Example URL (Robins page):
http://www.thefurrypound.org/tools/backpack.php?all=3&c=1&id=76561197960435530

Usage:
id=76561197992090658 Replace the number with your friendid, you can get this through the help of tf2items, just copy the number from the URL on your backpack page. (defaults to my ID)

all=0 to only show new items that isn't put in a proper slot
all=1 to only show items on page 1 of backpack
all=2 to only show items on page 2 of backpack
all=3 to show all items (default)

c=1 Colored itemboxes are on
c=0 Colored itemboxes are off

It also reduces redundancy, if there's several items in row it tries to compact them together. This works best if the items have been sorted ingame:
http://www.thefurrypound.org/tools/backpack.php?all=3&c=1&id=76561197992090658

TODO:
I should make it more userfriendly, I probably add a separate page where you can input parameters into a form instead of forcing the user to mess manually with the URL.

Nice, but it would be cooler if it had icons of the items.

Otherwise it's just a list :|

My intent was making it low-bandwidth, which is why there's no images... however I think 32x32 pictures could work. Would require some manual work with resizing them (some of the thumbnail pictures used for items have lots of unnecessary "whitespace").

Edit: 16x16 or 20x20 might work too with some creative editing...

I think that works fine for mobile viewing. It worked great on my LG Dare. How rough do you think it would be to do a slightly fancier version (i.e. icons) for smartphones that have full HMTL browsers?
