How to create a sidebar in jQuery Mobile Websites?
I want to simply create a sidebar like the one on the jQuery Mobile Demo Docs here.
I have read this question and didn't quite understand on how to implement it.
The point is, I'm making a website using jQuery Mobile for big screens, like Desktops, Net Books, Tablets and more. For the mobile site, I will just use the site without the sidebar.
I have also tried SplitView (code here) but its a bit buggy, I think because jQuery Mobile hates sidebars...
So:
- Either I want a solution to implement a simple sidebar like the one on jQuery Mobile's Docs.
- Or I want a prepared library like SplitView for making a sidebar.
- Or I want an alternative to jQuery Mobile (which supports most features of jQuery Mobile) which supports a sidebar.
Thanks... :D
Answer
I have created a sample jQuery Mobile application which works like this - When screen size is large,a split view layout will be shown.Otherwise,navigation can be done via a button in the header.For illustrating this in a desktop browser,I have given the width to check as 500px.If width>500 px ,split view. If width <500px, button in header
