Creating mobile pages from Dreamweaver starters


A small, but very substantial, set of jQuery Mobile objects are available in the Design view in Dreamweaver. They don't require coding! The most widely used of these objects have been bundled into a very handy set of customizable starter pages. In this chapter, we'll create pages using these starters, examine them, and customize the HTML and CSS that control the content and look of these pages.

The jQuery objects that come with mobile starter pages in Dreamweaver are not customizable themselves. In this way, they differ a bit from the Spry widgets in Dreamweaver where you can often customize some of the JavaScript itself. But as we'll see, this isn't going to be much of a problem because you can do most of the customizing you can imagine doing by editing the HTML and CSS associated with jQuery Mobile objects.

How does that work? Dreamweaver has set up tools that allow us to customize jQuery Mobile objects without worrying about what is happening...
