Dreamweaver’s integration with jQuery Mobile helps you quickly design a web application that works on most mobile devices while adapting itself
to the dimensions of the device.
About creating a web application using jQuery Mobile
Open a jQuery Mobile starter page, or create an HTML5 page
Use the jQuery Mobile starter pages in Dreamweaver to create your application. Alternatively, you can start creating your web application with a
new HTML5 page.
The jQuery Mobile starter pages include the HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and image files that help you get started with designing your application. You
can use the CSS and JavaScript files hosted on a CDN, your own server, or files installed along with Dreamweaver.
To identify the location of the linked files, see the <link> and <script src> tags in code view.
Insert jQuery Mobile components from the Insert panel
Insert jQuery Mobile components from the Insert panel into the HTML page. The jQuery Mobile CSS and JavaScript files define the style and
behavior of the components.
About CDNs and local jQuery Mobile files
CDNs
A CDN (content delivery network) is a computer network containing copies of data placed at various points in the network. When you create a web
application using the URL for a CDN, the CSS and JavaScript files specified in the URL are used for your application. By default, Dreamweaver
uses the jQuery Mobile CDN.
Alternatively, you can use URLs of CDNs from other sites such as Microsoft and Google. In code view, edit the server location of the CSS and
JavaScript files specified in the <link> and <script src> tags.
The files downloaded from a CDN are read-only.
Local jQuery Mobile files
When you install Dreamweaver, a copy of the jQuery Mobile files is copied to your computer. The HTML page that opens when you choose the
jQuery Mobile (local) starter page is linked to local CSS, JavaScript, and image files.
