Adding a custom icon sprite

The jQuery Mobile framework uses a default icon sprite and derives all the icons from it. This recipe shows you how to add a custom icon sprite, with the divide and equals icons, to the default standard icon set, together forming the keys of a calculator. The standard icon set already has the plus, minus, and delete (multiply) icons.

Getting ready

Copy the full code of this recipe from the code/04/add-icon-sprite sources folder. You can launch this code using the URL http://localhost:8080/04/add-icon-sprite/main.html.

How to do it...

In this recipe, the following image, calc-sprite.png provides the divide and equals icons:

  1. Create a new jqm-sprite.css stylesheet and define the classes .ui-icon-divide and .ui-icon-equals for the new icons derived from the custom icon sprite:

    .ui-icon-divide, .ui-icon-equals {
  background: #fff;
  background: rgba(0,0,0,.4);
  background-image: url("../../resources/images/calc-sprite.png");
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  -moz-border...
