Rails 4: JQuery mobile overlapping with Zurb Foundation 5 - jquery-mobile

Ever since I have installed JQuery mobile on my Rails 4 application, every view is now formatted by JQuery mobile. I would like to only apply JQuery mobile to one view and not the entire application. At this point Foundation is overlapping with JQuery mobile's formatting. Some textboxes are even being rendered twice. Also when validation of the textboxes fails, the page renders with another set of textboxes and Signup buttons embedded within the old ones.

I simply ended up uninstalling the jquery mobile gem and did a generic install. This seems to have worked. Still don't know exactly what happened.

which is the equal syntax "Ext.BoxComponent" in Jquery Mobile

I have to show a table in a widget based on the device(mobile, laptop, tablet) selected by user.
For Desktop/Laptop I am loading ExtJs libraries. I wrote following code which is working fine.
var container = new Ext.BoxComponent({ id: "demoBox" });
for mobile I load Jquery Mobile libraries. I am getting an error like
Uncaught Reference Error: Ext is not defined
. could you tell me which is equal component for 'Box Component' in Jquery mobile.
JQuery Mobile and ExtJS are not compatible in a way that you could copy over the code, optimize and be done with it. JQuery requires you to write HTML code, ExtJS doesn't. If you have a working ExtJS application, the best way to go mobile is ExtJS6-modern, previously called Sencha Touch.
The way you write JQuery Mobile means that you don't need a BoxComponent there. You would just write a bit of HTML/CSS - a DIV with a certain width and height - and be done with it.

Angular JS and jQuery Mobile routing - treatment of hash anchors in the URL

This is my first question on SO so i'll try and make it as clear and as understandable as possible.
I've recently started messing around with Angular JS and currently I am working on a mobile app using Angular JS and jQuery Mobile. So far I've not had any major problems and so far have no had a need to consider any external libraries for integration (such as the angular js + jquery mobile adapter). I've created a multi-page app (currently only two pages) and used separate controllers for each page (login + content page). The app itself is simple, it's just a list keeping app and i've created a quick jsfiddle based on the ui aspect of the content page: http://jsfiddle.net/G7JNV/4/
The app works as expected from the jsfiddle. However because the content page is a page in the same html document (index.html) as the login page, to navigate to the content page the url becomes:
.../index.html#mainpage
(mainpage being the page for the list keeper)
Thats when things start getting funny. When the url is like above, when adding an item to the list, the item is initially unstyled (it doesn't look like it's part of the list) but the css styling for that item comes back after adding another item. Of course the next item is then unstyled (and so on).
If you want to see what the issue looks like:
Everything however works fine if i don't have the hash page as part of the URL (I tested this by turning the two page app into just one page for the content so that .../index.html goes straight to the content page). The css is applied to the dynamic content fine as one would expect.
Of course I have no idea why it's doing this and I suspect that it's something to do with how angular and jqm treat the hash anchor in the URL (but bare in mind I don't have much experience in both Angular JS nor jQuery Mobile).
Any help from any of the more experienced Angular JS (and jQuery Mobile) users would be greatly appreciated!
You should be creating a directive that encapsulates the list and the logic that you have for it.
As suggested in the comments to your questions, a timeout can work. If you're having issues with the element "flashing" or "flickering", you can use the ngCloak directive to deal with this.
You may also want to check out the $locationProvider configuration in your app and turn off HTML5 mode or set the hash prefix.

jQuery Mobile and ASP.NET WebForms

I'm using jQuery Mobile 1.1 and .NET 3.5 WebForms. I've got a few dropdowns that I populate with choices in the Page_Load after checking !Page.IsPostBack. When using JQM, the UpdatePanel with these dropdowns comes back with all of the dropdowns empty. I feel like this is something with ViewState because it's all of the controls that were previously filled by the code. The dropdowns that are filled out in the ascx don't have the same problem.
The only thing in my mobileinit is:
$.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false;
jQuery Mobile, asp.net web forms and update panels simply don't work with one another:
JQueryMobile dialog shows twice because of a postback
You may also be having issues related to the select menu not refreshing when changes occur within the update pannel. Consider manually refreshing that:
$("#mySelectMenu").selectmenu("refresh");

Can I use Twitter Bootstrap and jQuery UI at the same time?

I am using Twitter Bootstrap and I want to use an "auto-suggest" which is not available in Bootstrap, whereas jQuery UI has its own methods for auto-suggest.
Can I use both? Will it overload the bandwidth?
Check out jquery-ui-bootstrap. From the README:
Twitter's Bootstrap was one of my favorite projects to come out of
2011, but having used it regularly it left me wanting two things:
The ability to work side-by-side with jQuery UI (something which
caused a number of widgets to break visually) The ability to theme
jQuery UI widgets using Bootstrap styles. Whilst I love jQuery UI, I
(like others) find some of the current themes to look a little dated.
My hope is that this theme provides a decent alternative for others
that feel the same. To clarify, this project doesn't aim or intend to
replace Twitter Bootstrap. It merely provides a jQuery UI-compatible
theme inspired by Bootstrap's design. It also provides a version of
Bootstrap CSS with a few (minor) sections commented out which enable
the theme to work along-side it.
just to update this, bootstrap v2 no longer conflicts with jquery ui
https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/issues/171
Edit: as #Freshblood there are a few things that still conflict. However, as originally posted Twitter suggests that they are working on this and it largely works, specially compared to v1.
For future reference (since this is google's top answer ATM), to prevent jQuery UI from overriding bootstrap's or your custom style, you need to create a custom download and select the no-theme theme. That will only include jQuery UI's resets, and not overload bootstrap's style for various elements.
While we're at it, some jQuery UI components (such as datepicker) have a native bootstrap implementation. The native bootstrap implementations will use the bootstrap css classes, attributes and layouts, so should have a better integration with the rest of the framework.
In my limited experience I am coming across issues as well. It appears that JQuery elements (such as buttons) can be styled using bootstrap CSS. However, I am experiencing issues having created a JQuery UI tab and wanting to lock a bootstrap only input (using the input-append class) to the bottom of each tab, only the first sits correctly. So, JQuery tabs + Bootstrap buttons = probably not.
Bootstrap still doesnt work with Jquery UI, for example the modal.Bootstrap has nice style but as a framework with Twitter behind isnt that good.
If you're running into javascript namespace collisions, you can use Bootstrap's noConflict() function make it cede functionality to jQuery UI.
Although this question specifically mentions jQuery-UI autosuggest feature, the question title is more general: does bootstrap 3 work with jQuery UI? I was having trouble with the jQUI datepicker (pop-up calendar) feature. I solved the datepicker problem and hope the solution will help with other jQUI/BS issues.
I had a difficult time today getting the latest jQueryUI (ver 1.12.1) datepicker to work with bootstrap 3.3.7. What was happening is that the calendar would display but it would not close.
Turned out to be a version problem with jQUI and BS. I was using the latest version of Bootstrap, and found that I had to downgrade to these versions of jQUI and jQuery:
jQueryUI - 1.9.2 (tested - works)
jQuery - 1.9.1 or 2.1.4 (tested - both work. Other vers may work, but these work.)
Bootstrap 3.3.7 (tested - works)
Because I wanted to use a custom theme, I also built a custom download of jQUI (removed a few things like all the interactions, dialog, progressbar and a few effects I don't use) -- and made sure to select "Cupertino" at the bottom as my theme.
I installed them thus:
<head>
...etc...
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/font-awesome.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/cupertino/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap-3.3.7.min.css">
<!-- <script src="js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script> -->
<script src="js/jquery-2.1.4.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/bootstrap-3.3.7.min.js"></script>
...etc...
</head>
For those interested, the CSS folder looks like this:
[css]
- bootstrap-3.3.7.min.css
- font-awesome.min.css
- style.css
- [cupertino]
- jquery-ui-1.9.2.custom.min.css
[images]
- ui-bg_diagonals-thick_90_eeeeee_40x40.png
- ui-bg_glass_100_e4f1fb_1x400.png
- ui-bg_glass_50_3baae3_1x400.png
- ui-bg_glass_80_d7ebf9_1x400.png
- ui-bg_highlight-hard_100_f2f5f7_1x100.png
- etc (8 more files that were in the downloaded jQUI zip file)
If don't store it locally and use the link that they provide you might have an improved performance.The client might have the scripts already cached in some cases. As for the case of jQueryUI i would recommend not loading it until necessary.
They are both minimized, but you can fire up the console and look at the network tab and see how long it takes for it to load, once it is initially downloaded it will be cached so you shouldn't worry afterwards.My conclusion would be yes use them both but use a CDN
Yes you can use both. js bootstrap from twitter is a collection of jquery plugins. There shohuldn't be any conflict with jQuery UI.
Regarding bandwidth overload, it really depends on how you handle the requests to load all of your js files. if you really dont want to make multiple requests to the server to request for each file, just append them together and minimize. Or you probably can get rid of some js bootstrap plugins you dont need. it is very modular.
Kendo UI has a nice bootstrap theme here and a set of web UI comparable to jquery-UI.
They also have an open source version that works nicely with the theme.
I have site developed using jquery ui, I just tried to plug in bootstrap for future development and styling but it breaks virtually everything.
So No they are not compatible.
Because this is the top result on google on jquery ui and bootstrap.js I decided to add this as community wiki.
I am using:
Bootstrap v3.2.0
jquery-2.1.0
jquery-ui-1.10.3
and somehow when I include bootstrap.js it disables the dropdown of the jquery ui autocomplete.
my three workarounds:
exclude bootstrap.js
or more to typeahead lib
move from bootstrap.js to bootstrap.min.js (strange, but worked for me)
The data-role="none" is the key to make them work together. You can apply to the elements you want bootstrap to touch but jquery mobile to ignore.
like this
input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search" data-role="none"

Wrong layout used on first load after switching to/from mobile version of application

I have 2 application layouts: application.html.haml and application.mobile.haml. But when I switch from mobile to the non-mobile version the mobile layout is still used for the first load. In Firebug console I see that the non-mobile view was properly returned, however the browser and the Firebug HTML tab show the mobile layout. Any idea what's going? It's fine after a refresh.
The issue turned out to be caused by JQuery Mobile.
I found the answer here: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a3/docs/pages/docs-pages.html
JQuery Mobile doesn't do full page reloads unless it's told to, so although the full html was returned, JQuery Mobile just replaced the page portion.
The key portion from the docs is:
"It's important to note if you are linking from a mobile page that was loaded via Ajax to a page with multiple internal pages, you need to add a rel="external" or data-ajax="false" to the link. This tells the framework to do a full page reload to clear out the Ajax hash in the URL. This is critical because Ajax pages use the hash (#) to track the Ajax history, while multiple internal pages use the hash to indicate internal pages so there will be a conflicts."
Recently, I encountered a similar problem.
In my case, Rails4's turbolinks suffered. Similarly as JQuery Mobile, turbolinks only updates the body part of a full page without updating the head part of the html when an intra-site link is clicked. I simply removed the require line for turbolinks in my application.js and the problem disappeared.
