I need to implement a left-sided-menu in my app for tablet version. I tried to use Panel. 

I added into each HTML file a <div data-role="panel" id="panelDiv"></div> at the top of the page. 

I made panelMenu.html with a ul li.

In js file in section for HTML page I put $('#panelDiv').load('panelMenu.html');

on that SomePage.html I got nothing..if I exclude data-role="panel", the 'panelMenu.html' loads but it looks like it is missing css and links to other pages does not work. Basically, it loads 'panelMenu.html' as plain text.

What seems to be the problem?Please help it is quite urgent :(

Thank you in advance.
