In this chapter, we're going to talk about forms and how jQuery Mobile enhances them. As a part of our discussion, we will be posting our forms to a local server. To process forms, you need a type of application server. They could be written in PHP, Node.js, Ruby, and so on. Since that is outside the scope of our book, we're simply going to post to a static HTML file. Keep in mind that you can process forms posted from a jQuery Mobile website exactly like you would for any other form.
