Jquery Mobile - Multi-page structure

    In this post today, we will have a look at the multi-page Jquery mobile architecture. We have discussed the single page architecture in detail in the previous post. In case you have missed it, I recommend you to have a look at it first, before you proceed to the Jquery Mobile Multi-page architecture.

    Jquery multi-page architecture is nothing but a collection of DIVs stacked together in a single HTML page linked to each other using the div IDs. Let's take a look at the example below and then discuss it in detail. The example shows a three "page" site built with 3 jQuery Mobile divs navigated by linking to an id placed on each page wrapper. Note that the id's on the page wrappers are only needed to support the internal page linking, and are optional if each page is a separate HTML document. Here is what three pages look inside the body element.


    You must have observed that each of the page div has an attribute data-role="page" and an id associated with it. Each page is required to have a unique id which is used to link these pages together. When a link is clicked, the Jquery Mobile framework will look for an internal page with that id and transition the page into view. Another thing to remember is that the id attribute of all your elements must be not only unique on a given page, but also unique across the pages in a site. This is because jQuery Mobile's single-page navigation model allows many different "pages" to be present in the DOM at the same time. This also applies when using the multi-page template, since all the "pages" on the template are loaded at the same time.

 UPDATE: The following example makes use of the next stable version of Jquery Mobile 1.3.1

   Hope the single page and multi-page jQuery mobile structures are clear. However, there is a small problem with the multi-page structure approach that you might face while implementing it. How to have a different page title for all the pages that are stacked in one single HTML? There is a simple solution to this which JQuery Mobile has provided us with and we will discuss it in the next post.

    Hope you followed this post and it has helped you. Stay tuned for more such code samples and snippets.

Where does Google get it's live traffic data from?

Referring to a post that I wrote earlier, Google’s - Live traffic Layer , ever wondered how Google collected this data? I was wondering the other day, how Google received live data to display it on their maps as a layer! I looked up the web and found something very interesting and am sharing the same with you all. As we all know, the traffic layer is available most accurately in several states in USA. Most major metro areas in the US have sensors embedded in their highways. These sensors track real time traffic data. Easy to miss at high speeds (hopefully anyway, traffic permitting), more commonly noticed may be the similar sensors that often exist at many busy intersections that help the traffic lights most efficiently let the most amount of people through. The information from these tracking sensors is reported back to the Department of Transportation (DOT). The DOT uses this data to update some of the digital signs that report traffic conditions in many metro areas. They als...

Two maps on the same page - Side-by-side

    How good I am feeling to post a code example after such a long time! It's been all "news" over the past so many posts! Well now that I am finally doing a code example, I am posting a very highly requested code sample. Placing two Google Maps on the same page (Now that's simple you would say!), but side by side. Now this is the thing that most people struggle with. Well, implementing the second part is also very simple, as you will see in today's code.     Let's see the code. Here it is!     The output of the above code will be as seen in the result section above.     As most of you will realize, there are two maps, one centered at "Pune" and other at "Noida". Why I chose these two locations? Well, just like that!...The main issue of concern is how the maps appeared side-by-side and not one below the other as would be normal behavior of two "div" elements used in the same page. Now here is the trick! Check out the...

Learning React in #41Tweets

Sounds crazy, right? 😲Not really. It is possible! This is no magic pill ✨ . There is no substitute for practice and experience , but this will get you started and help you make the right decisions in your React journey. When I started with React, the sheer use of ES6 syntax and difference in the coding style, made me not want to use it. But when I learned and practiced ES6 and then learned and practiced React, that is when I truly fell in love with React 😍 I created a Twitter Moment Learning React ⚛️ which is basically a collection of #41Tweets that will get you off the ground on your React journey. I hope you like this new approach to learning React and hope it is helpful in getting you started 🤝Let me know your feedback and keep the conversation going on Twitter 🐦

Jquery Mobile Listview enhancements and customization

    In this post today, we will take a look at the various enhancements and customization that we can do to the standard listviews. All these enhancements or customization are questions asked by various people on the Jquery Mobile forum. I have tried to put together a solution to some of them.     Let's take a look at a few of them. Some questions are really amazing like " W hen i have 3 nested listview structure and moved to 3rd nested, how to move back to second nested listview? " Now this is a really good question and a nice valid requirement too. When we had see an example on nested listviews  you must have wondered how we would navigate to the previous levels from the current level. Well here is a solution that I had put together.     Another really nice question was " Listview with collapsable listview inside ". This is really a good example to try out. Take a look at the solution that was proposed and also taken from other jsfid...

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...
