Jquery Mobile - Text formatted listview

    "The regular listview looks plain. I want to add a few other details in my list item." Have you also faced this requirement from your client? Well, for those who have and also for those who haven't yet, you can keep in mind that you can create a text formatted listview using JQM and design accordingly for your next project.

    Let's take a look at the following example to understand how text-formatting can be achieved seamlessly.



    As you can see in the HTML code above, to add text hierarchy, you need to use headings to increase font emphasis and use paragraphs to reduce the font emphasis. Supplemental information like "Last update: April 9, 2013" can be added to the right of each list item by wrapping content in an element like 'div' or 'p' with a of class ui-li-aside.

     Now let's take a look at the CSS part. You will notice that I have included some CSS on id "no-ellipsis". If you have noticed, in the first list item, the description has been truncated and ellipsis (...) have been added at the end of line. This is the default behavior of JQM framework. However, you can over-ride this and display the complete description as you can observe in the second list item.

    Hope you have followed the code sample. In case you have any doubts regarding this code sample, feel free to drop a comment and I would be happy to help. If you have liked the post, remember to comment and let me know and also share the post so that others learn from it too.

Playing with the markers and info window bubbles...

    In the last few posts, we have seen some marker examples and some information window examples. Now, lets do something interesting combining these two things. Just writing that "This is an info window" in the information bubble is not very interesting! And I know this...Have gone through the same phase!     So, today we will do something interesting! We will display the latitude- longitude co-ordinates of the point that the user clicks on the map! Doing this is not at all complex! Copy paste the following code and you will see for yourself a map coming to life!     The output of the above code looks as seen in the result section above! If you have any queries regarding the above code please comment on the blog post or feel free to contact me at my mail ID .

Retriving co-ordinates...

         We have seen 2 Google Maps API v3 examples wherein we have retrieved the latitude-longitude co-ordinates of the point of click on the map. In the first example we have displayed the co-ordinates in the information window and in the second , we have displayed the co-ordinates in a form in the information window.         Today we will create a code to retrieve the latitude longitude co-ordinates in a text box while simultaneously a marker appears on the map as well. So, here goes the code. <html> <head> <title> Google Maps API v3 - Adding marker on Click and retrieving the co-ordinates in a text box </title> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var map;    //When using event as a parameter to a function declare map, strictly as a global variable fun...

Jquery Mobile Form - Flip toggle switch control

    A binary flip switch is a very common UI element in the mobile web world and was made popular by our very own iOS. This flip switch is used mostly for binary on/off or true/false data inputs. To create a flip switch or a toggle switch, start with a select with data-attribute="slider" and two options. Jquery Mobile would style this select as a regular flip switch with capsule corners and a a circular handle which can be either dragged from one end to the other or tap either sides of the switch.     The flip toggle switch is available in 2 flavors/sizes - regular and mini. Adding a data attribute data-mini="true" to the input tag renders a smaller sized flip switch. Let's take a look at the code sample below to understand the working in a better way.     In the code above, you will see 4 different implementations of the flip switch. The first one is a regular flip switch with the label and the toggle button one below the other. The se...

The dancing bubble...

         "Why does this bubble not dance?" asked my friend's 6 year old sister referring to a marker she was seeing on the map! So I decided the this marker needs to be animated! So, I developed the following code which shows a marker that bounces on its position and can also be dragged anywhere on the map!         The following is the code for the "dancing marker"... <html> <head> <title>Google Maps JavaScript API v3 - Bouncing marker</title> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var marker; var map; function initialize() {     map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"),     {         zoom: 5,               mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId....
