Working On Very First Page To Use JQuery-Mobile

Working On Very First Page To Use JQuery-Mobile

I'm trying to use JQuery.Mobile-1.2.0 on my first mobile page and it doesn't seem to work. 

I'm working in a dotcms v. 2.2 (dotcms is a content management system that we use for our website) environment and I will need to start adding mobile pages sometime in the near future, so I'm trying to develop some prototype code now, so I'll have it in the future when I need it. 

I have the jquery.mobile-1.2.0 code library copied to a folder on our website. the code at the top of my new page's definition (according to the book JQuery Mobile Web - Development Essentials) all looks like this:

<! DOCTYPE html>
< meta content = "width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;" name = "viewport" />
< link rel = "stylesheet" href = "/global/jquery-mobile/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="/global/jquery/jquery-1.7.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="/global/jquery-mobile/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js"></script>


In conjunction with it I'm also currently using JQuery-1.7.2 (which is also referenced on the new mobile test page as shown above). The actual JQuery code that I have placed on the page is also currently setup to cause no conflicts with other libraries like this:

var j = JQuery.noConflict();

When I comment out the jquery.mobile-1.2.0.js reference the page functions properly with only the jquery-1.7.2.js reference being active and shows all of the correct labeling, controls, etc. But when I uncomment the reference to jquery.mobile-1.2.0.js , to make it active the page only displays as a completely blank page.  

I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to better diagnose this problem. Thanks for the help.
