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!

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!

Form info window

Today we will look at a Google Maps API v3 example to add a form in the information bubble! This is usually required when we wish to accept some data/information from the user! This data can be saved to a server in the form of an XML file or a database! The information can then be retrieved back at a later stage, when necessary! In this example we will only look at form in the information bubble! The connectivity part with the server will be discussed in another post! So, today's code snippet is as seen below! <html> <head> <title> Google Maps API v3 - Adding marker and info window on Click and creating a form in the infowindow with the lat-lng information in it. </title> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var map; //When using ev...

SASS - Nesting the CSS

To begin with SASS we need Ruby to be installed on our machine. To set up Ruby and SASS on your machine refer to the following steps. If you’re using OS X, you’ll already have Ruby installed. Windows users can install Ruby via Windows installer , and Linux users can install it via their package manager. Once you have Ruby installed, you can install Sass by running: gem install sass To translate your Sass file into a CSS file, run sass --watch style.scss:style.css Now whenever you change style.scss, Sass will automatically update style.css with the changes. Later on when you have several Sass files, you can also watch an entire directory: sass --watch stylesheets/sass:stylesheets/compiled We don't need to do so many things to get up and running. We just need our good old friend jsFiddle. We will take a look at the various features of SASS today onward. Let's discuss the most basic and an important featu...

CSS - Counter-increment and counter-reset

Today we will take a look at a couple of CSS properties that are usually used together but not very frequently used. We will be talking about the counter-increment and counter-reset properties. As the name suggests counter-increment and counter-reset definitely have something to do with counters. Let's take a look at the example below which will clearly illustrate the usage of these 2 properties. The implementation is very clear and straight-forward. The only question that remains now, can these CSS properties replace the ordered list (ol-li) HTML code? Do let me know your comments and feedback. Would you use these CSS properties against the standard ol-li structure?

The bitter divorce of PSD and HTML

Today's article is an interesting post that I read. The original post in Portuguese and authored by Fabricio Teixeira can be found at arquiteturadeinformacao (Now don't ask me pronounce this =)). Some are calling it the death of PSD but I prefer calling it a "divorce". PSD and HTML are both healthy and living strong, just that they do not live together anymore. "PSD to HTML", which for years was the most accurate and sometimes the only right path to web design process, seems like has its days counted. Firstly you draw a page in Photoshop; impeccable layout, representing exactly how the web pages would appear when opened in a browser. After a sign-off on this picture (PSD) from the client the front end developer transforms these pictures into HTML, CSS and Javascript. The assets are cut, one by one, exported from the PSD and integrated into the HTML. Plugins and new tools are created in the process and some companies eve...
