How do I change the <a data-role="button"> button's background to my image? Also how can I add my custom icons on top of a button at left side?
Give the link a class and use CSS to change the background image.
<a data-role="button" class="my-button">
...
.my-button {
background-image: url('images/my-button.png') !important;
}
I would say that the recommended way to customize a jQuery Mobile button is adding a custom theme.
<a data-role="button" data-theme="my-site">Button</a>
That will give you more control over the different elements and states of the button. For instance, you can target different states of the button in CSS by writing the code for the class associated with your custom theme name (they are automatically added to the button):
.ui-btn-up-my-site { /* your code here */ }
.ui-btn-hover-my-site { /* your code here */ }
.ui-btn-down-my-site { /* your code here */ }
Keep in mind that the default buttons are made out of borders, shadows, and of course the background gradient. There also additional HTML elements inside the button that are automatically generated by the framework. Depending on what exactly you want to customize you might need to target other classes within the button (ui-icon, ui-btn-text, ui-btn-inner, etc).
Here is a tutorial that explains how to do advanced customization of the jQuery Mobile buttons. The articles shows how to do some basic customization, how to reset the jQuery Mobile theme, and how to turn the default button into anything you want:

When I click on an Angular UI Grid column's arrow icon to show the dropdown menu for that column, then click the arrow icon again to hide it, the menu "shoots" up in an animated fashion, which I find undesirable.
How can I disable this behavior?
The ngAnimate module is responsible for the animation. You can exclude that from the application. If any of your dependent js libraries require ngAnimate then this may not be possible.
var app = angular.module('app', ['ngTouch', 'ui.grid']);
Example without the ngAnimate

As described in this answer, there is a generic, non-UI-Grid-specific way of disabling animations for specific elements. Note that this doesn't affect only animations perpetrated by ngAnimate; rather, this disables all animations in general.
From the original answer:
Just add this to your CSS. It is best if it is the last rule:
.no-animate {
-webkit-transition: none !important;
transition: none !important;
}
then add no-animate to the class of element you want to disable.
Example:
<div class="no-animate"></div>
So, to disable animation of the grid's menus, do the following (using Sass, but you get the idea):
.ui-grid-menu-mid {
#extend .no-animate; // the .ng-animate class is as defined above
}
The only real downside that I can see with this method is that you can't selectively disable animations for column and/or grid menus, only for both at the same time.
I have a link button with jQuery mobile.
I want to be able to set it to be constantly pressed or unpressed.
I tried this code for pressed:
$(this).css('background-color', '#e0e0e0');
and this code for unpressed:
$(this).css('background-color', '#f6f6f6');
But when hovering over the unpressed button it does not highlight anymore.
So I tried:
$(this).addClass('ui-button-active');
But the button gets a blue color and I want dark gray color.
Any suggestions?
In jQuery Mobile 1.4.2 CSS you can see that there are button styles for normal/hover/active states (for each theme), and an active style that changes the color of the button (to blue, in your case).
To simulate a "constantly pressed" button you have to add a class for each theme (a and b) based on the button :active class, and override background color:
.button-pressed-a { background-color: #e8e8e8 !important; }
.button-pressed-b { background-color: #404040 !important; }
Then, in your script, you can toggle the "pressed" state with:
$("#button").toggleClass('button-pressed-a');
Have you been to themeroller? There you can try out different styles.
Adding a Custom Theme
Another good way to customize a jQuery Mobile button is adding a custom theme.
<a data-role="button" data-theme="my-site">Button</a>
That will give you more control over the different elements and states of the button. For instance, you can target different states of the button in CSS by writing the code for the class associated with your custom theme name (they are automatically added to the button):
.ui-btn-up-my-site { /* your code here */ }
.ui-btn-hover-my-site { /* your code here */ }
.ui-btn-down-my-site { /* your code here */ }
Keep in mind that the default buttons are made out of borders, shadows, and of course the background gradient. In addition to this, there are other HTML elements inside the button that are automatically generated by the framework. Depending on what exactly you want to customize you might need to target other classes within the button (i.e. ui-icon, ui-btn-text, ui-btn-inner, etc).

I'm using Mobiscroll 2.0.3. The datepicker view gives ok button on the left and cancel button on the right. Can I exchange the position, like the cancel button on the left and set button on the right? Because I have ok/cancel buttons placed in the opposite way to Moviscroll on the site. Users would get confused if the button positions are different at each.
You should be able to do that just using CSS and overriding the styles. I did it for the scroll-wheel view but the idea is the same (also note that that this was for mobiscroll 1.5.3 so the the markup and classes may have changed)
/* overide stlyes for mobi date/time picker */
.dwb-c
{
float:left;
margin-bottom:12px;
}
.dwb-s
{
float:right;
margin-bottom:12px;
}
I know it's late but if someone try to google it, just try this https://docs.mobiscroll.com/jquery/datetime#opt-buttons
You can set an array of buttons to display and you can use string names if you wanna show default buttons. So if you wanna change direction just set buttons like this:
buttons: ["cancel", "set"]
I have three radio buttons which have the same theme in jquery. If I select one of them, the color of the button will change to the color specified in my .ui-btn-active class in the css. My radio buttons are named Can meet, not sure and Decline. I want my Decline radio button to have a different color than the two others when it is selected (the color red).
I'm using Jquery mobile and have customized the css for which colors I want to have on the different themes and I have changed the .ui-btn-active to .ui-btn-active-a and .ui-btn-active-b and made them with different values. I have tried to switch between the two ui-btn-active classes without no luck, and I have tried the addClass(..) and removeClass(..) without luck. I made a method in my jquery-mobile.js which look like this:
$.mobile.changeAction = function( activeBtn){
$.mobile.activeBtnClass = activeBtn;
}
where my activeBtn parameter will be a string to choose which activeBtnClass I want to have. I think the problem is that I have problems refreshing the activeBtnClass after overriding it, I have tried some refreshing methodes without no luck.
As long as the radio buttons have different colors when active I will be very thankful.
Following styles should do the trick:
.ui-radio:nth-child(1) .ui-icon-radio-on.ui-icon{
background-color:green;
}
.ui-radio:nth-child(2) .ui-icon-radio-on.ui-icon{
background-color:grey;
}
.ui-radio:nth-child(3) .ui-icon-radio-on.ui-icon{
background-color:red;
}
Sample jsfiddle.
To style Horizontally stacked select options:
.ui-radio:nth-child(1) .ui-radio-on span.ui-btn-inner{
background-color:green;
}
.ui-radio:nth-child(2) .ui-radio-on span.ui-btn-inner{
background-color:grey;
}
.ui-radio:nth-child(3) .ui-radio-on span.ui-btn-inner{
background-color:red;
}
Sample jsfiddle.
Why not just create custom themes for all of the states that you might want? You can have multiple custom themes, and only use them when you'd like. I have 7 themes in my CSS, and this way you can always incorporate them later if you'd like without having to do so much custom coding.
You can just apply the theme with the data-theme="f" (or other letter swatch) element attribute.
Here's jQuery ThemeRoller 1.1.1 http://jquerymobile.com/themeroller/index.php. If you're just making small changes to the theme, such as an active state, just copy the theme, and make the changes and save as a new swatch. You can go from A-Z :)
I just started working with JQM a little while ago. I used the default VS2012 asp.net mobile project to start with. I like how the mobile pages work, but wanted a fixed area at the top of each page that essentially has 3 columns one of which is a logo. I've done that (with a basic table to start with) in the _layout.cshtml, and right below that is where I start the JQM Page layout. This is all working well, and I like how the page transitions happen while keeping a fixed header area at the top.
However, I would like to add a button to my fixed area at the top that is styled similar to the other JQM buttons. This doesn't work because the buttons are not within a valid Page or Header data-role I presume. Is there a way to take advantage of the JQM styles for HTML that is outside of those data-roles?
As an example, I'd like to use the anchor tag for a Log In button and have it styled the same as it is with a gear-icon when it's within a div that has data-role = "header". I'm not sure I have a deep enough understanding to drill down through all the elements that are used in the .css file and was hoping there are other individual classes or something I can take advantage of.
This is the line I am trying to display as a button, but I am only getting text (does work as anchor tag though):
<a data-role="button" data-transition="pop" href="/Vision/Account/Login">Log in</a>
Also, I am using jquery.mobile-1.1.0 and jquery-1.7.2.
You can style any element as a button by calling the jQuery Button Widget on the element:
$('.login-button').button();
The button function also accepts options such as the icon and theme:
$('.login-button').button({
icon: 'gear'
});
See also: http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/buttons/buttons-options.html
Try adding data-role="button" to your anchor tag.
