jQuery Mobile

Niall09

So I'm currently testing the waters at the moment in regards to mobile web development. I just came across jQuery Mobile and it looks quite good (and easy to understand).

Just wondering if any of you have used it and how you adapted your original sites to work on a mobile platform.

Any tips or tricks?

Cheers

Started working with jQM myself recently, I am not considering porting existing sites to mobile but I am definitely thinking of writing all new web apps using jQM! One thing i found is to make sure all links include the rel='external' attribute if they are not internal page links.

Here are some references I found really useful, hope they help:
- Create your own customized theme using themeroller
- and a cheatsheet

Yep have used it a bit myself. I've noticed that it can be slow on lower spec android phones though.

Pages are fed into the DOM via AJAX. It's a fairly cool framework alright and there are plenty of plugins out there for galleries etc.
