I'm just experimenting trying to get a better grasp on selectors.

how does one select an item by class within a page?

we have a search box on our form and ideally would like to be able to close the keypad on the iPhone/iPad when the user clicks the search button (rather than the user having to click the done button).  Is this possible?

thanks

I have an issue peculiar to iPhone/iPod/iPad where usernames and passwords are not remembered whereas in all other cases (on our Android phones and desktop browsers) there is no problem.

If I deploy a standard asp.net application, username/passwords are remembered.  

With a standard application, I am using the standard login control.  With JQM, I'm using a form and a generic handler.

Can anyone advise where I'm going wrong or perhaps how I should be doing the login?

thanks

I've had a bit of a look around but haven't come up with anything overly promising.

I need to integrate barcode scanning (doesn't have to be 2D at least for now) into my JQM application - primarily running on iPhone and HTC/Android phones but ideally for any smartphone.

Is there built-in scanning functionality in the iPhone or Android phones that I can hook into with my web app or is there an external attachment I can buy?  

thanks

does anyone have any idea how to get the Android phone to show the numeric keypad when an input is marked as type="number"?  The iPhone honours this setting, but the Android browser perhaps hasn't implemented this.  Short of this, is there a workaround?

thanks

I wish to extend the pageLoading method to allow passing in display text, something like the code listing below.  What is the best way of doing this - I do not want to edit the core function, just have my variation called instead.

2.         function pageLoading(done, displayText) {
3.             if (done) {
4.                 $html.removeClass("ui-loading");
5.             } else {
6. 
   
7.                 if ($.mobile.loadingMessage) {
8.                     $loader.appendTo($pageContainer).css({ top: $(window).scrollTop() + 75 });
9.                 }
10.                 $html.addClass("ui-loading");
11.                 if (displayText)
12.                     $('.ui-loader>h1').text(displayText);
13.                 $('.ui-loader').attr('style', '');
14.             }
15.         };
16. 
    

Can anyone advise how to ensure the page slides from right to left when clicking the browser's back and left to right when clicking the browser's forward button?

thanks

is anyone else finding this:

on an Android phone, upon switching to Alpha 4, the contents of a Dialog flicker up momentarily, then disappear. Reverting back to Alpha 3 and the dialog contents appear as expected.

Will see if I can test this is also an issue on an iPhone on Monday.

thanks

for some reason, if I append a class or a button to the parent of the input, it also gets appended to the div with data-role="fieldcontain".  Is this by design?  

<div data-role="fieldcontain">

      <div>

            <input type="text" />

     </div>

</div>

thanks

I have a series of divs which I select on class

$('.myClass')....

Is it possible to further filter this if the div contains an element of another class so for instance, divs below with input having class="someOtherClass" would be selected and divs with class="someExcludedClass" would be excluded?

<div class="myClass">

      <input type="text" class="someOtherClass" />

</div>

thanks

I'm running into formatting issues when I toggle button visibility depending on context.  

Note, in the code below, the formatting for the button with myclass0 is unaffected, just the buttons with myclass1 and myclass2 as their visibility is toggled.  But I cannot figure out why

my code is pretty straightforward e.g.

                    <a href="#" data-role="button" class="myclass0">Button 3</a>

thanks

is there a way to specify which transitions are used when calling the history.go or history.back/forward methods?

thanks

I've been looking at the search input http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a3/#docs/forms/forms-search.html and like the general look and feel.  What I'd like to be able to do is provide a search button either to the left or the right of the clear button that pops up as well as the clear button when you have entered text and remove the search icon on the left.  I'd like it so you can optionally exclude either of the buttons.  So it now looks something like this (note have cut and pasted images from different themes):

I do not want to mess with the jquery mobile core libraries.

Can anyone advise on what is the better way to do this - and point me in the right direction to getting started?

thanks

on iPhone3 the down arrow for a button appears correctly.   However, on an iPhone4 only a few dots of the arrow appears.

Any ideas?

thanks

we have Outlook messages converted to html and wish to display them in our application.  I have been trying to get this to work trying either just setting the html in a div or using the .Load() method.  The only issue has been that the styling in the surrounding pages buttons is impacted.  Before loading the button looks as per the nice jquery mobile styling: 

afterwards, it looks like this:

any ideas on how to avert this?  I have been tempted to use iFrames but they of course come with their own suite of problems.

thanks

is there anyway of getting the jQuery Mobile loading dialog to move with the page as the user scrolls down?

Currently, we offer a list of clickable items.  If an item in the list is clicked, we show the loading dialog to indicate we are retrieving the details for the clicked item i.e. $.mobile.pageLoading()

This works very well when the list only takes up a single screen.  However, in many cases the item the user wishes to open requires them to scroll down the list and the dialog shown by the line above is out of view so the user is confused because nothing seems to be happening.

Is there any way of getting the dialog to reposition so it's always in view?

thanks

Matt
