Summary


This chapter discussed how to work with listviews in jQuery Mobile. We saw how to turn a regular HTML list into a mobile optimized list, and we demonstrated the numerous types of list features available with the framework.

In the next chapter, we'll take what we've learned already and build a real (albeit a bit simple) mobile-optimized website for a hotel.
