I'm trying to learn jquery mobile and have been playing around with it for the past few days and things are going alright, but I'm not so sure if I'm taking the proper approach.
I tried making a site with a similar UI as the facebook app. On the top right and left corners of the page's header are buttons that causes the page to slide out like a drawer.
The top left button will slide the page out to the right to reveal a menu, while the top right button will slide out to the left to reveal a form to fill out.
What I did was create divs outside the page and used javascript to slide out the active page, to reveal the menu or form depending on which button is pressed:
<body>
<div id="my-menu">
<ul>
<li>Menu Item 1</li>
</ul>
</div> <!-- end of my-menu -->
<div id="my-form">
<form method="post" action="form-action.php">
<!-- form elements -->
</form>
</div> <!-- end of my-form -->
<div data-role="page" id="home">
<div data-role="header">
</div>
<div data-role="content">
</div>
</div> <!-- end of home -->
</body>
I used my own CSS to style the menu, but I also noticed my theme wasn't applied to "my-form", but everything in the page "home" had all elements properly styled.
I can't put the form inside the page "home" because I will not be able to do sliding drawer effect that I've done with the menu.
Am I suppose to have my own styling applied to the form outside the page or is there a way to apply the jquery mobile theme to elements outside the page?
Would this be the best approach to implement this kind of user interface or is there a better way using what's available in jquery mobile?
Since this will be my UI for the application does that mean I will just copy the same code to all the pages? Or is there a better way to do this?
I'd like to use the best practice for this use case so please offer any advice!
Thanks in advance for the help!
BTW I did the slide menu based on this blog post:

Solution 1:
As I told you in comments, jQM style can not be applied outside of page container but that should not prevent you from using its css.
If you are using firefox, use firebug plugin and take a look at every jQM page element, copy its structure and css. Use it to create styling outside page container.
One more thing, new elements are going to be styled but they will not have functionality, you will need to redo it by yourself.
Solution2:
Have your content inside a data-role="page" div at page-load, let jQuery Mobile style the page, and then move your content div out of the data-role="page" div to be a child of the body tag.

I'm currently using JQM1.3 with iscrollview and was wondering how I would go about fixing this issue I have when I put an iscrollview inside another iscrollview.
My HTML goes something along the lines of:
<div data-iscroll="">
<!-- some content goes here -->
<div data-iscroll="">
<!-- more content goes here -->
</div>
</div>
The problem I have is when scrolling down everything looks good but if I scroll up; both div will scroll up. Is there anyway that I can stop the outer div from scrolling until the inner div is at the top?
I don't even know where to begin doing something like this so I was hoping for some pointers as to where to begin/look for info?
Please and thank you.
I have a normal jquery page with header, content and a panel
<div id="myPage" data-role="page">
<nav id="myPanel" data-role="panel">...menu...</nav>
<div id="myHeader" data-role="header">...button...text...</div>
<div id="myContent" data-role="content">...welcome text...</div>
</div>
The page is initially loaded with a menu in the panel (with a custom ajax call) and a welcome text as content. Besides text, the header also contains a button to open the menu panel.
When a user taps on a menu item I only want to replace the content, not the entire page.
I've been trying with
$.mobile.changePage('my/valid/url', {
pageContainer : $('#myPage')
});
I can see in my network log that I get the correct content from the JQM ajax call. But when I look at the DOM, the only thing that happened is that an empty div is appended to #myPage, i.e. the content from ajax is not inserted. And the old content is still there. See below:
<div id="myPage" data-role="page">
<nav id="myPanel" data-role="panel">...menu...</nav>
<div id="myHeader" data-role="header">...button...text...</div>
<div id="myContent" data-role="content">...welcome text...</div>
<div data-role="content" data-url="my/valid/url">EMPTY</div>
</div>
One other thing is that the whole page, #myPage, is hidden (display="none"). It seems that JQM wants to show an entire new page instead of just allowing me to change the content of one div inside #myPage.
Is it possible to change just a part of a JQM-page using JQM?
I've done it with a custom ajax call and then appended the markup to the DOM myself. But then I need to do a lot of other stuff manually, like enhancing , showing/hiding the load indicator etc.
I am building a responsive design and would like to use jquery mobile to provide just a menu. I was looking towards nested listviews (I know they are deprecated in 1.3.0). What I am after is a nested set of links in the footer. When an item with children is clicked, the sub menu will slide in, otherwise just navigate to the link that was clicked if it has no children.
This fiddle shows what I am after http://jsfiddle.net/QfyZd/6/
I thought that I would get the desired effect by marking up the footer with:
data-role="footer" data-position="fixed"
My question is though, how do I ensure the listview only affects the footer rather than the entire page? Or am using the wrong components to achieve what i'm after?
I've got a jquery accordion on site BUT it kinda doesn't work >> when browser loads page accordion looks good (with one first section opened) BUT when I press on some other section, first section closes and none of sections ar opening up, so it kinda stucks with all sections closed! When I reload the page this loop starts from the beginning. Here is the link to the site, click on "Pakalpojumi" to see that accordion.
Here is the html of accordion:
<div id="accord">
<h3><a id="gr" href="#">Griezšana</a></h3>
<div>
<p>
max griešanas garums: 2500mm </br>max loksnes biezums: 4mm
</p>
</div>
<h3><a id="ur" href="#">Urbšana</a></h3>
<div>
<p>
Mēs piedāvājam 3 dažādu veidu stacionārie urbji
</p>
</div>
<h3><a id="lo" href="#">Locīšna</a></h3>
<div>
<p>
max loksens garums: 2000mm, </br>max spiešanas spēks: 65 t
</p>
</div></div>
Adding accordion to accord:
$('#accord').accordion();
Does anyone have any idea of what could be wrong?
The code works fine by itself, see here. On closer inspection of your site, there is a style which is placed on the active div each time the header is clicked (I'm using chrome, it appears as element.style in its css properties) which sets the height, padding-top and padding-bottom to 0px. If I disable those styles, the selected div appears fine. Do you happen to be adding these styles on every click?
Edit
Ok, I found your problem... Does the second tab here look familiar? According to this post it's because when you initialise your accordion, its parent element is hidden (via your 'off' class). So you can get around this issue by defining a height for your divs after initialising your accordian like so:
$('#accordion').accordion();
$('#accordion >div').css('height', '300');
... or by by initialising your accordion once its parent is shown.
Ive built a webpage with 'tabs' using rails. When a user clicks a tab, a new page loads. I want to format it so the tabs are always in the same place on the page as a user clicks them. This happens as long as the user has not scrolled down on the page. If a user has scrolled down, clicking on the tab will refresh the page and it is no longer scrolled down - which make clicking the tabs look bad. Is there a way to keep the spot on the page where the user has scrolled down, without using Javascript? If it must be done with Javascript, any suggestions?

Without Javascript, nope. If they were at an exact location, you would be good to go, using an anchor (example.html#anchor), but since you don't know the exact location, you're pretty much out of luck.
So sorry!
You can do it but you will need a small amount of Javascript and some CSS hiding.
Suppose these are your tabs:
<ul id="nav">
<li class="tab">Content 1</li>
<li class="tab">Content 2</li>
</ul>
And suppose this is your content:
<div id="content" class="content1">
<div id="content1">
<h1>Some content</h1>
<p>This is my content.</p>
</div>
<div id="content2">
<h1>More content</h1>
<p>This is my other content.</p>
</div>
</div>
What you would need to do then, and I am demonstrating using the Ext.Core library, is:
<script type="text/javascript">
Ext.onReady(function() {
Ext.select('.tab a').on('click', function(ev, el) {
ev.stopEvent();
var content_id = el.href.replace('#', '');
Ext.get('content').removeClass(['content1', 'content2', ...]).addClass(content_id);
});
});
</script>
You also need a little CSS like so:
#content.content2 #content1,
#content.content1 #content2 {
display:none;
}
This hides the other content we are not looking at. We set a class on the content container called contentN which is the href of the link for that tab. So if we have a tab with href="#content1" then we add a class to the content container called content1 and now that content is visible and other content is not.
The Ext.Core samples page has another way of doing it, and they have an example up showing it working. Their way is more involved than this.
