Jquery Mobile - Customizing the search box

Customizing the Jquery Mobile default styles is often required to match the design visuals provided by your designer and approved by your client. Such is the case with the Jquery Mobile search box as well. The designers often use customized icons for the default search box icons. In the example that follows, we will take a look at how this done and we will use custom icons for the search box in place of the default icons.

As seen in the example above, in the CSS, we need to use the !important keyword to override the default styles of the Jquery Mobile class.

Customizing the search box or any other element in Jquery mobile is pretty simple. Hope you have followed the post and followed how to customize the Jquery Mobile default styles for the HTML5 search input box. Drop a comment in case you need to know more or need help with your Jquery Mobile application. I would be happy to help!

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!

Fusion Table - Heat Map Layer

In continuation with the previous example on Fusion Table, we will have a look at another Fusion Table layer example. Today's point of discussion is heat map! What is a heat map? A heat map is geographical representation of data where the values taken by a variable in two-dimensional map are represented as colors. Higher the value of the variable, that place on the map would be represented with a deeper color. This example is very much similar to the previous one, just for one minor change! Let us have a look at the code. I have just used a readily available Google Fusion Table for this example. Any anomalies in the data is not my responsibility! Copy the above code in an html file and open it in your browser! You will see the fusion table heat map layer in action! The only change in this code from the previous one is that, the heatmap property of the fusion table layer is made true! The output of the above code looks as s...

Jquery Mobile Buttons

Buttons - an integral part of a form is styled really well and consistently using the Jquery Mobile framework. We will discuss and take a look at the different buttons, their styling and usage in today's post. Buttons are coded with standard HTML anchor and input elements, then enhanced by Jquery Mobile to make them more attractive and touch friendly for mobile usage. Let's discuss this and more in the example that follows. You must have already observed that the styling for the first 5 buttons is the same, even though the HTML markup for each is different. The first one is created using an anchor tag. The next one using a button element and further using input elements of type button , submit and reset . To create a button out of the anchor element, you need to include a data attribute data-role="button" with the anchor element. The framework now styles the anchor element as a button. Now the question arises as to when to use a anchor based ...

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...
