I am new to JQuery Mobile.I have a question which is bothering me quite a bit, How do I pull up data from the database . Is Javascript used for that ?
You can use GWT(Google web Toolkit) with JQueryMobile wrapper class

How to connect jQuery Mobile (meteor add ...)? I understand that you can connect by adding the head, but I do not want to.
I know about how to use Meteor + Phonegap, however, advise which option is better?
Outdated information:
jQuery-Mobile Meteor sample integration and/or integration guidelines
I created a new jQuery mobile (jqm) demo app at jqmdemo.meteor.com
because the "old" demo app (jqm.meteor.com) wasn't working as expected.
You can create a package in your local lib folder to use jqm in meteor (see source code on bitbucket, link is on the demo page).
There's no meteorite package for this at atmosphere yet (mrt add ...). I haven't created one, because I think there are still many things that can be improved in the demo (e.g. popups are not working in the demo).
Also event binding needs to be re-checked because I added the event to the rendered function of the templates with jQuery.on(...).
Attaching the jquery mobile events to the template.[yourtemplate].events({}) handler would be better, but I don't know how to do this.
I can not say anything to phonegap at the moment. Because I haven't tested it.
But at the moment I think that jqm and meteor is a bit slow in performance. If you have a look at the fontawesome-demo inside of the jqm demo you'll notice that it takes quite long to render the >300 icons. Maybe a server side rendering would be better, but I think that's not ready in meteor.
I would like to use the Bootstrap Framework with Delphi's IntraWeb (I'm using XE2)? The idea is to have the server side logic done by Delphi, while using the nice controls that come with BootStrap?
What would be the basic components "Hello World" application for this configuration?
What would be the high-level approach for a more elaborate application, for example one with a Bootstrap nav component that has its tab contents populated by Delphi?
Is combining IntraWeb and Bootstrap an overkill? Would I would be better off with an Indy TIdHTTPServer + Bootstrap?
It does not have to be difficult to implement Boostrap with Intraweb, you just have to add the Js files in the ContentFiles property of the IWForm, you just have to take in mind you have to write the html for each component you use for BootStrap.
In http://www.codegearguru.com in the Movie #63 - Using jQuery Mobile with IntraWeb - CodeRage 6 Replay
They have explained how to develope the Fishfact demo using jQueryMobile, using the TIWTemplateProcessorHTML component and standard IW components, so it should no be difficult to adapt it for bootstrap.
Here is the link: http://codegearguru.com/video/063/jQueryMobileFishFacts.html
Althought, there have been a new component suite since last year implementing JQuery and jQuery mobile, you should take a loo at http://www.cgdevtools.com, I'm using them and let me tell it give you IW app a very nice view. AFAIK they are planning to generate a component suite for Bootstrap.
As far as the web-server is concerned, it should provide the necessary files when the client requests them to run bootstrap client-side: Bootstrap: File Structure
To populate the components (client-side), you'll have to create the server-side logic so it will enter the correct javascript that does so into the HTML of the pages.
We have an app written in .NET/MVC (C#) and it uses TinyMCE as the WYSIWYG editor. Works fine except no spell checking natively. The current options are pretty limited (iespell for IE but requires ActiveX, or spellchecker for PHP).
I stumbled on this site and it looked promising until I read the documentation and saw that it also requires PHP on the backend.
So I'm looking for an alternative - jQuery plug-in that will work with a .NET backend or possibly replacing TinyMCE and using CKEditor which supports SCAYT.
Anyone have any idea if there is a good jQuery plugin to use or am I possibly stuck with ripping out TinyMCE and replacing it with CKEditor?
You can use typo.js, you can use to detect if a word is misspelled and also to get a list of suggestions, but you will have to handle the replacement yourself. I am using it with CodeMirror in my asp.net Mvc project
To anyone coming on this post later:
TinyMCE can now use the browser's built in spell checking functionality, just turn on the option as follows:
tinymce.init({
selector: 'textarea', // change this value according to your HTML
browser_spellcheck: true
});
More details in the relevant section of the official documentation.
You should then get the red squigglies in the browser:
Ive read alot about jQuery Mobile and Knockout.js not playing nice together. Should I ditch knockout.js for my mobile pages and stick with jquery mobiles javascript to handle my view updates? Is there a better option?
They work fine together. You will need to manually invoke jquery mobile's various widget methods if you are dynamically generating markup with ko's templating or if you are manipulating CSS or other properties. Custom bindings are another valid approach.
$('#myButon').button('refresh');
$('#myListview').listview('refresh');
$("#myCheckboxList").checkboxradio("refresh");
If your markup is static other than text values, it should be no-brainer.
I just started a new project for mobile website, JQM and KO are combined, they are great frameworks and I've never seen any big issue with them.
Started working on Firefox add ons, which is done with JavaScript and XUL, and I find myself sorely wanting to use Dojo or someother kind of JavaScript like library, but I can't find one that exists. So I was thinking of starting a library by porting Dojo over to a Firefox add on specific fork. Get rid off the cross browser stuff, use array comprehension and other nice stuff available in Firefox's JavaScript engine. I worry about whether or not there's enough of a userbase who'd take advantage of this, but more than that I guess I'm wondering if there's already something like this? Google finds nothing.
Mozilla Corp developed a JavaScript library for this purpose: FUEL.
it is developed by John Resig the creator of jQuery.
To know how to use jQuery inside FF extension look at this similar question
jQuery, at least, functions perfectly well when embedded in a Firefox addon. I can't quote you names, but I've heard that several popular addons are already using jQuery.
Here's an article discussing using jQuery within XUL and some of the hoops you may need to jump through.
It is fairly common to embed jQuery in firefox extensions.
