The PhoneGap examples that I'm seeing use jQuery Mobile, but I'm wondering if PhoneGap requires it, or if people are using JQM because they're (obviously) writing a mobile app?
In fact, does PhoneGap require jQuery at all?
Let me Google that for you:
http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/16494778/Getting%20Started%20with%20PhoneGap%20(iOS)%20-%20Xcode%203#Requirements
That is for iOS but no PhoneGap does not require jQuery.
People are most likely using jQuery mobile since they are trying to target multiple devices and JQM supports that fairly well out of the box.
http://wiki.phonegap.com/w/page/36868306/UI%20Development%20using%20jQueryMobile
Phonegap does not require jQuery at all.
It's basically just an empty browser window without all the fluff. You can use whatever HTML, CSS, and Javascript tricks you want as long as they're compatible with an HTML5 capable browser.
I like http://zeptojs.com/ for handling the javascript. Much more lightweight (although you lose a lot of the animations and stuff that JQuery has)

More looks likely the Caja in Google App Script is not supporting jQuery Mobile?
Any idears?
Caja sanitation prevents jQuery mobile markup. This is an issue addressed in the Issue Tracker.
I'm not sure how long it would take to have jQuery added to Caja's list...
I'm exploring jQuery Mobile so what I'm doing is not anywhere near production.
Q: Is it ok to use jQuery 2.0 with jQuery Mobile or should I just stick with 1.8.2 like they say to do on the download page?
From my experience it is safe. I am using jQuery 2.0.0b1 with jQuery Mobile 1.3 and currently I didn't find a problem.
Basically 2.0 is 1.9 but without support for IE 6 and 7. And lets be honest you don't need them for jQuery Mobile. And 1.9 is only a cleaner, slimmer, modern-API upgrade from jQuery 1.8.
On the other hand, like Omar told you in his comment, stick to jQ 1.8.3. Higher version will not provide you with faster or better code execution. They will only learn you to abandon all that deprecated code like bind, live, delegate .... and so on.
EDIT :
I forgot, if you want to use version 2.0 you will need to learn to bind your events with a function on. This is very important because 90 % of jQuery Mobile examples use live or bind for event binding.
Quickly looking through the code it seems most of it has been designed with IE6 in mind but it seems none of the script runs in IE6.
I'm not looking for full functionality. Just some of the styles you get once the script has attached class names. I want to provide support for IE6 users through a simplified mobile site.
Thanks for any advice.
Why so old ie6 you are thinking about?
jQuery Mobile cant work well with IE6.
because it uses css3 and html5 which is not supported on ie6.
If I want to develop an web application on mobile, so should I use Twitter Bootstrap or Jquery Mobile? Twitter Bootstrap good for mobile or not?
As of version 2.0, Bootstrap is fully mobile compatible. There actually has been another question about it.
One thing you may want to keep in mind, is the purpose they're build for. jQuery mobile was created and is maintained with mobile compatibility in mind whereas Bootstrap offers it as an addition (meaning that it won't be it's main priority). If there is nothing in bootstrap that you are particularly interested in, I would go for jQuery mobile.
Depends what you want to do..
Twitter bootstrap is a CSS framework with some javascripts on it. While jquery Mobile is javascript to create native mobile feel..
So basically they are quite different..
Bootstrap 3 is built group up for mobile first, you may want to take a look at the 3.0 branch on GitHub. I didn't use jquery mobile in my app Django Market b/c I would have to change the backend and didn't want to invest. Bootstrap 3.0 IMHO will provide a lot of "competition" for other frameworks due to its power and simplicity
From my experience, i've using jQuery Mobile for a simple informative application. I spent some days on the base code, then i tested it on tablets, handsets using PhoneGap and the results wasn't good. There are still some troubles on transitions for Android and iOS devices.
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.
