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.

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...

Jquery Mobile Form - Checkboxes

Checkboxes - popularly used in forms for multi-option selection, pose a problem in the mobile web world! The checkboxes being so small as they are, reduce the touch area and it becomes really difficult for selection. Jquery Mobile styles these checkboxes in such a way that they become touch friendly and gel with their overall framework design. Jquery Mobile styles the label for the checkboxes so that they are larger and clickable. A custom set of icons representing the checkboxes is added to provide additional visual feedback. The checkboxes can be used singularly or in a vertical group or can be even grouped horizontally. These checkboxes can be used along with data-mini="true" too, which renders the checkboxes in a smaller size. We will take a look at all this in the example that follows. In the first implementation you will see, 3 singular checkboxes which a...
