jQuery Mobile is a framework for building mobile web sites and apps. It uses progressive enhancement to work across mobile device platforms. Key components include pages for content, navigation via AJAX, and widgets like lists, forms, buttons. Formatting options allow for grids, collapsibles. Events support touch and orientation changes. The framework configures default styles and provides methods to programmatically control pages and components.

10. Page & dialogs

11. Page & dialogs
 jQuery Mobile includes a navigation system to load
linked pages into the DOM via AJAX, enhance the new
content, then display pages with a rich set of animated
page transitions. The navigation system automatically
transforms all links and forms by using progressive
enhancement to hijack links and issue AJAX requests.
 The back button is fully supported so
pages, dialogs, and popups all seamlessly work with
the navigation system. There are tools to prefetch &
cache, dynamically inject, and script pages for
advanced use cases.

12. Single page

15. Multi-page

17. Multi-page

icons and positioning, inline and mini sizing, grouping
sets, and theming.

 All form widgets begin with native form elements with
rich HTML semantics that are enhanced to make them
more attractive and easy to use. In browsers that don't
support the custom controls, they will still have a usable
experience.
 Most common form elements are included: text
inputs, search, sliders, flip toggle switches, radio
buttons, checkboxes, and select menus. Available in
standard and mini sized versions.

61. Forms
 Forms

 Lists are used for data display, navigation, result
lists, and data entry so jQuery Mobile includes a wide
range of list types and formatting examples to cover
most common design patterns. All lists start with simple
HTML list markup and include styling for read-
only, linked, numbered, nested, collapsible lists and
more.
 Listviews are full width by default but can be set to be
inset styled. To make development easy, there are
simple ways to add a search filter and automatic
dividers.
