JQuery UI for mobile devices?

in jQuery Mobile • 3 months ago

I am really new to the entire JQuery ecosystem. The question is really basic but I am hoping someone more experienced with JQuery can confirm my suspicions.

I am interested whether JQuery UI library will work in mobile interface. From the forums here and elsewhere, it looks like mixing jqUI and jqMobile is a sure recipe for doom. But if we entirely ditch jqMobile, can jqUI widgets be salvaged? Or, is jqUI meant to be confined to non-mobile web browsers only? Thanks!

JQUI was not meant to be confined to non-mobile browsers, it was just designed with desktop web browsing in mind. Will it work with mobile? Maybe; it's not technically supported, but that doesn't mean it may not work. As for the widgets, some may be hard to use on mobile devices. It really is up to you to decide. I wouldn't expect a site designed with JQUI to work on every mobile device, but if you are only targetting say iPhones and it works for you, then that's great.

With that being said it really is more of a trial and error, you will probably have to do some custom development as well (css, js, and whatever else you need). to make it play with with mobile devices.
