I have created bottom fixed tabs using jquery mobile data-role="navbar" inside a JQ footer. The issue is it creates a div on runtime outside the page flow which is absolute, more than the height of the page content. This is getting created on runtime and appears only when the navbar code is written. Need some help on it.
First, are you viewing the website on a mobile device (and which mobile OS if so).
This issue has appeared in my experience, but only when using a standard web browser.

I am using worklight 6.2 Consumer Edition on WAS Liberty Profile 8.5.5.1 Server. I am using jQuery Mobile 1.4.2 to develop UI. When I install app on iPhone/iPad, status bar of phone is hiding some part of my app's header.
How can I fix this issue (if its an issue)?
This works fine in a default new app with jQuery Mobile that was generated by Worklight Studio. As you can see, the status does not overlap the text.
You can also take a look at the Worklight Starter with jQuery Mobile edition, that also works on iOS w/out the status bar covering the top of app. Compare your CSS.
You need to provide a screen shot of what you're seeing, as well as provide a sample application where you are experiencing it. This issue originates from your code. Provide code.
One possible solution would be to add some margin-top to whichever element is at the top of your applicaiton's HTML.
I am trying to use the iOS smart app banner on my website. I am currently using jquery mobile 1.3.1 for development. The problem I'm having is jquery mobile automatically hides the address bar on page load. Since the smart app banner appears to be a part of the address bar, the user cannot see the smart app banner unless they scroll up. Is there anyway around this problem? Ideally the page would load and show the smart app banner and not the address bar. However, at this point I would be fine showing both on page load. I know the folks over at HTML5 Boilerplate have solved this issue. See:
Hiding address bar without hiding the smart app banner on iOS 6
The problem with this solution for me is turning off the hide address bar feature in jquery mobile. I can't seem to figure out how to accomplish without altering the jquery mobile core code. I don't really want to alter the jquery mobile code. Mainly because I don't like changing code that I have to update when a new version comes out. Plus I am pulling the jquery mobile file from jquery's CDN. I would like to find another way to solve this problem. Any ideas? Thank.
Add
window.oldScroll = window.scrollTo;
window.scrollTo = function(){return false;};
before you load jquery mobile. This will override Jquery mobile hiding. then you can use the helper.js by reassigning scrollTo after jquery mobile script.
I am using JQueryMobile to build an application that will mainly run on a Linux-based touch device with Firefox.
My issue is that, with JQM, when page contents cannot fit on the screen, the web browser displays a vertical scrollbar displays a vertical scrollbar
There is no such issue with Sencha and Dojo. They both behave like if they were running on a touch-based device, even with desktop web browser (reduce the height of your browser window) :
Sencha scrolling list
Dojo scrolling list
So, how can I make JQM to be touch-friendly when running on a desktop web browser ?
It seems that there is no really good JS and/or CSS solution for this issue.
Hiding the scrollbars with CSS (overflow-y: hidden;) prevents scrolling and mess JQM touch events.
I found a workaround by using a Firefox plugin (Grab and Drag), which is an acceptable solution since I control the device that runs the browser.
It works fine, but it is not a pure JS/HTML/CSS solution...
i'm developing a simple three tabs app for Android and iPhone, using IBM Worklight as framework. Every tab links to a div with data-role="page", as jQuery Mobile specifications.
If I implement the jquery fixed persistent tabbar like is explained there (http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/toolbars/footer-persist-a.html), i'm encountering some flickering on the tab item in page transition (with any transiction effect).
If I set the default transition to "none", I could resolve this problem, but I lost the transiction native-like effect.
This behavior appears only if i test the App with a real android device (Xperia Neo, GS2).
If i navigate trough the pages of http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/ with my smartphone, especially here: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.2.0/docs/toolbars/footer-persist-d.html i can't see the strange behavior, but the footer won't be persistent trough the pages, it just re-render like the whole content and this is worse (this happen with the stock browser or Dolphin, instead looks very well by using Chrome).
Is there a way to improve this effect or there is another way to implement fixed persistent tab bar?
I used as reference the default Android Contacts App.
Maybe you're getting this flicker because you're navigating between pages using rel="external". Try to pass from one page to the other without ajax and you'll see that flickering will dissapear
The problem is due to poor performance of the WebView of the Android environment in rendering 3d transition.
Solved by removing the transition effect with:
$.mobile.defaultPageTransition = "none";
Something else that could help is putting these attributes in the AndroidManifest.xml:
<supports-screens
android:anyDensity="true"
android:largeScreens="false"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="false"
android:xlargeScreens="false" />
<application
android:debuggable="false"
android:hardwareAccelerated="true"/>
I am building a mobile website and need a fixed positioned button (for quick link to scroll to top) that should move across while scrolling the screen. fixed position is not supported by mobile browsers. Can anyone suggest the way around for the same. I am using twitter bootstrap. I have observed fixed position header and footers for mobile in jquery mobile framework but could use it in twitter bootstrap page.
Thanks in advance.
You can use a navbar-fixed-top or navbar-fixed-bottom navbar on your site and that will function properly on mobile devices. Refer to the Optional Display variations section under navbars http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/components.html#navbar.
