Jquery Mobile - Split button listview

    Today we will be taking a look at a listview example where we can include 2 clickable items instead of the usual 1 clickable item. In all the listview examples that we have seen till date, we have had only 1 clickable item per list, i.e. only 1 anchor tag included within the li tag. We will now take a look at an example where we will see, how to add 2 clickable items in the same list.

    In case where there are more than 1 possible action per list item, a split button can be used to offer two independently clickable items - the list item and a small icon in the far right. To make a split list item, we simple need to include a second link inside the li tag and JQM framework will do the rest for you. It will add a vertical divider line, style the link as an icon-only button and set the title attribute of the link to the text of the link for accessibility as you can see in the result section in the jsFiddle below.



    You can set the icon on the extreme right by specifying the data-split-icon attribute on the listview with an icon name you want. The default icon is "arrow-r" but can be configured with the splitIcon listview options. I have used the "star" icon in the above example. By adding a data-icon attribute to the list item, you can set individual icons for each split. The theme swatch color of the split button defaults to "b" but can be set by specifying a swatch letter with the data-split-theme attribute at the list level as I have used the "c". For individual splits, you can apply the swatches with data-theme attribute at the link level.

    The icon that we have used for the split need not be from the JQM default icon set. We can have our own icon and we will see how to customize the icon on the listview in subsequent examples. Stay tuned for more examples on Jquery Mobile. Hope you have followed this one. Drop a comment in case you have any issues regarding this code sample and I would be happy to help.

Side-scrolling web pages issue with Jquery Mobile - Issue #5748

    While developing a Jquery mobile based application, I came across a issue that is observed only on the iOS 6 devices and Android 4.2.2 devices.     What is the issue?         Web pages are side scrolling on iOS6 and Android 4.2.2 devices.     How did I debug the issue?         This bug was in our applications bug tracker for a long time and since I am the lone front-end developer the project that I am working on, my manger was pushing me to close this bug quickly. I had used the perfect mobile meta tag and still the web pages were side-scrolling. None of my divs had width that was going beyond the device widths and still there was this issue. That day, I decided to break down my HTML to pieces, and tested each piece on the dreadful iOS 6 device. I came down to a textbox that had some placeholder text in it and there it was, the issue was glaring me in my face. ...

SASS: Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets - An Introduction

    I had some free time today, and decided to explore into SASS, which I had planned on doing for a long time. SASS is really cool and it really is simple styling with a lot of attitude. SASS really makes CSS so much fun. I loved it and am putting up a few posts to talk about the various features of SASS.     SASS is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance and much more. The SASS CSS is required to be compiled before it is transformed into standard CSS using a command line tool or a web-framework plugin. Let's not worry about this for now.     SASS CSS can be written using 2 types of syntaxes. The most popularly used syntax is known as "SCSS", rightly named " Sassy CSS" and is a superset of CSS3's syntax. This means that every CSS3 stylesheet is valid SCSS as well. The second syntax is an older one known as the "indented syntax" or just SASS. This syntax is for people who do not love brackets and...

Satellite to keep eye on Chambal, Palpur Kuno sanctuaries

         In a bid to check the rising incidents of poaching and keep an eye on the flora and fauna of the two sanctuaries in Madhya Pradesh, the government has decided to use satellite to monitor the Chambal and Palpur Kuno region.          The basic field technique, which is used currently, to maintain a log of the region’s vegetation, wildlife does not give the real time data. Therefore, the government has decided to use the Geographical Information System (GIS) Global Positioning System (GPS) for the purpose.          Madhya Pradesh’s leading animal scientist Dr. RJ Rao, who has received training in such satellite monitoring of national reserves from California, said the program ‘ARC Q-9’ is proving to be of great use in protection of the wildlife. They have used the program to prepare a database of the whole Chambal and Kuno region, said Rao. Sourc...
