jQuery is used by millions of people to write JavaScript more easily and more quickly. It has become the standard tool for web developers and designers to add dynamic, interactive elements to their sites, smoothing out browser inconsistencies and reducing costly development time.jQuery Hotshot walks you step by step through 10 projects designed to familiarise you with the jQuery library and related technologies. Each project focuses on a particular subject or section of the API, but also looks at something related, like jQuery's official templates, or an HTML5 feature like localStorage. Build your knowledge of jQuery and related technologies.Learn a large swathe of the API, up to and including jQuery 1.9, by completing the ten individual projects covered in the book. Some of the projects that we'll work through over the course of this book include a drag-and-drop puzzle game, a browser extension, a multi-file drag-and-drop uploader, an infinite scroller, a sortable table, and a heat map. Learn which jQuery methods and techniques to use in which situations with jQuery Hotshots.

Adding a JsRender template


At the end of the last task we used the changePage() method to call a new page, so now we need to create that page. We can add our JsRender template to the new page ready for when we build the list view in the next task.

Prepare for Lift Off

Create a new page using the starting template from jQuery Mobile once again. Call it bounty-hunter-list.html and save it in the root of our project folder. Change the id attribute of the data-role="page" wrapper to list.

The <h1> in the header <div> can be changed to something like Active Bounties, and we can add the home icon again as we did on the About page. The footer can stay the same as on the welcome page. The content <div> can be empty to begin with.

Engage Thrusters

Near the bottom of the new page we just created, inside the page container, add the following JsRender template:

<script id="listTemplate" type="text/x-jquery-tmpl">
    <ul data-role="listview">

        {{for items}}
         ...
