div tags affect what is displayed in a browser: what's that got to do with the Desktop ?

There are many ways to detect, using javascript, whether a browser is mobile or not.
It's easier to detect a mobile browser - and thus indirectly desktop browsers - because if a browser is not mobile, it's desktop.

Check this link out. There are heaps of free code samples on the web.

Once you have a javascript function to detect whether a browser is mobile or not, you can then run some javascript on DOM load to hide the div with the background image.

Forexample, using jQuery:

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function () {
   //You can find heaps of functions that you can rename "isMobileBrowser()" through the link above.
   if (isMobileBrowser()) {
      //change bk_image to whatever the id of your div is.
      $('bk_image').css('display', 'none');
   }
});

Hope this helps :-)
