Blue census, Water census...

          The Uttar Pradesh State Water and Sanitation Mission (SWSM) will soon be documenting the drinking water resources across six zones of the state. These zones are Allahabad, Ghaziabad, Gorakhpur, Lucknow, Varanasi and Moradabad. The documentation - to be done through Geographical Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) mapping - will take note of ponds (manmade and natural), wells and handpumps. This exercise which is a part of the National Rural Drinking Water Programme (NRDWP) will help the officials to create a proper database of these resources, which will be used for their management.

         Through the mapping, all the details of all the resources will be compiled, complete with their longitude and latitude dimensions. The department plans to start off the exercise by April 1, 2011 and should end by March 31, 2012. The focus will initially be on villages where the drinking water condition is really bad in summer and this data will be mapped within three months. This would help the authorities to finalise plans for providing emergency relief to these villages. After the mapping, the details will be given to the selected civil society organisations in these villages, who will then do a regular monitoring of the water quality.

Jquery Mobile Form - Slider control

    Input field of type range is newly introduced in HTML5 and is very well styled. The style is further enhanced when using the Jquery Mobile framework and we will see how this can be done in today's post. Jquery Mobile styles the range input type with capsule-corners and adds a circular handle to the slider.   The input's value is used to configure the starting position of the handle and the value is populated in the text input. Specify the min and max attribute values to set the slider's range. If you want to constrain input to specific increments, add the step attribute.   As you drag the slider's handle, the framework will update the native input's value (and vice-versa) so they are always in sync; this ensures that the value is submitted with the form.     The range input elements are available in 2 flavors/sizes - regular and mini. Adding a data attribute data-mini="true" to the input tag renders a smaller sized input el...

Jquery Mobile - Filtering the Listview

    So you have a very long list of items and you want to provide the users with a searching facility. There is nothing to worry here. Jquery Mobile provides a very simple solution to a very difficult and time-comsuming looking problem.   jQuery Mobile provides a very easy way to filter a list with a simple client-side search feature. To make a list filterable, simply add the  data-filter="true"  attribute to the list. The framework will then append a search box above the list and add the behavior to filter out list items that don't contain the current search string as the user types. The input's placeholder text defaults to "Filter items...".     Now again, this is not going to satisfy the client. The client will not like the default search and will ask for  customization . No problem again. We can do it very easily again by virtue of the Jquery Mobile framework.   To configure the placeholder text in the search input,  use the data ...

Difference between word-break: break-all versus word-wrap: break-word

    The 2 CSS properties  word-break: break-all  and  word-wrap: break-word  appear to work in the same way or generate the same output, but there is a slight difference between the 2 and we will be discussing these differences today.     Take a look at the example above. The difference is quite evident, however I will try to explain it further. word-break: break-all Irrespective of whether it’s a continuous word or many words, break-all breaks them up at the edge of the width limit even within the characters of the same word word-wrap: break-word This will wrap long words onto the next line. break-word adjusts different words so that they do not break in the middle.     So if you have many fixed-size spans which get content dynamically, you might just prefer using  word-wrap: break-word , as that way only the continuous words are broken in between, and in case it’s a sentence comprising many words, the spa...

Jquery Mobile - Theming listview icons

    After exploring all the standard listview types in the series of examples on listview, you must have observed that for a linked list, Jquery Mobile displays a standard "arrow-r" icon to the extreme right of the list. However, you don't want the standard "arrow-r" icon and you need some custom icon there.     Jquery Mobile provides a set of icons that can be used along with listviews in place of the standard "arrow-r" icon. To override the standard icon, set the data-icon attribute on the desired list item to the name of a standard icon. We will see a complete list of icons in the following example.     However, before proceeding to the example, let us also consider a case where we do not wish to have any icon on the list item. This too can be achieved by setting the value of data-icon attribute to false. We will also include this in our example that follows.     Hope you have followed this post. Do drop a line in case you fi...
