Jquery Mobile listview with custom icon

This is the last post in the series of Jquery Mobile listviews before we move on to Jquery Mobile accordions (collapsibles) and then a series on form elements in Jquery Mobile. Today we will see how to add a custom made, third-party icon in listview instead of the standard icons provided by Jquery mobile.

Wondering how to customize a list view, or adding a custom icon to a listview. Well there are 2 ways in which you can do this and we will see both.

The easy way #1:
Jquery Mobile provides the developers with creating a custom icon class something like a .ui-icon-custom and then adding data attribute data-icon="custom" to the list item. Let us take a look at the example that follows. This example would make things all the more clear.

The difficult way #2 (My personal favourite):
Now adding a custom icon to listview done in this way would help you explore how Jquery Mobile works or resolve some issues like "How to change the default "X" icon in the dialogs header" where you cannot use the easy way #1. Let's take a look at the example below and see how we can customize the listview.

Hope you find this customization process important. I enjoy customizing the JQM defaults, challenges your mind! Hope you enjoy it too. Do let me know in case of any concerns regarding this post. Drop a comment in case you are facing any issues with customizing your Jquery mobile listviews; I would be happy to help!

Jquery Mobile - Listview with data-inset property

In the previous post we looked at a basic example of the jQuery Mobile listview. The listview in jQuery Mobile stretches 100% of the width with sharp edges and straight corners. If you wish to have rounded corners for your lists you need to make use of the data-inset="true" property. Lets take a look at the example below. The lists as seen in the result below have rounded corners as opposed to the straight edges in the example in the previous post, where we had not made use of the data-inset property. When we say that we did not use the data-inset property, we mean that the value of data-inset property is "false". UPDATE: The following example makes use of the next stable version of Jquery Mobile 1.3.1 Hope you have followed the post. Do let me know your feedback on the same and drop your commenets below.

CSS Text and Font

In this post today, we will take a look at some of the most interesting CSS text and font properties listed below. text-transform white-space word-break word-spacing word-wrap font-variant Text-transform property: Let's begin with the text-transform property. The filler text used in all the examples below has been taken from Andy Matthew's filler text generator which is a humorous replacement to the traditional boring lorem ipsum . The text-transform property will turn your text to uppercase, lowercase and also will capitalize the first character of every word. So now you don't need any javascript to do your bidding. This transformation will be done irrespective of the special characters preceding and following the text characters. The following example will make things much more clear and editable of course =) White-space property: The next property to explore is the white-space proper...
