2 new Page Transitions in jQuery Mobile v1.1

In my earlier post I had written a simple demo to show the various transitions that are available with jQuery Mobile. The official documentation v1.0.1 for page transitions is available here.

But with jQuery Mobile v1.1, the official documentation has been updated and is much better compared to the older version. You will also see the page looks much simpler and showcases how the transitions would look for pages and also dialogs. Just click on the buttons and you can see the live demo. Excellent work on updating the documentation.

Also very exciting to see that two new transitions have been added, the Turn and the Flow. So now we have a total of 8 transitions that are available by default. Pretty cool.

Of course the brave can extend the framework and try to create their own custom transitions using CSS3 and JS.

Minimal required code in HTML5

I've encountered this question repeatedly of late. "What are the tags required at bare minimum for a html file?" Earlier there were a bunch of mandatory tags that were required for any html file. At bare minimum, the recommended structure was: (ref: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/global.html ) <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd"> <HTML>   <HEAD>     <TITLE>A small HTML</TITLE>   </HEAD>   <BODY>     <P>Small HTML file!</P>   </BODY> </HTML> Yes, using capitals for the tags was the way to go! Those were the days of the purists and strict was the way to be. Now open your notepad and copy the above code, save the file as old.html and launch it in Chrome or Firefox. You will see only one line "Small HTML file!" shown. Now launch the developer tools in Chrome or Inspect Element in Firefox. Thi...

Using duplicate IDs in HTML

Well today I'm being a bit controversial. Let us see what the HTML5 spec says about unique IDs in a HTML file. The  id  attribute specifies its element's  unique identifier (ID) . The value must be unique amongst all the IDs in the element's  home subtree  and must contain at least one character. The value must not contain any  space characters . An element's  unique identifier  can be used for a variety of purposes, most notably as a way to link to specific parts of a document using fragment identifiers, as a way to target an element when scripting, and as a way to style a specific element from CSS. Yes its been mentioned almost everywhere on the planet that ID must be unique. Now let us look at the below code, Launch dup.css #p2 {   background-color: yellow;  } dup-id.html <!DOCTYPE html> <html>   <head>     <title>Duplicate ID Tester</title> <link rel="stylesh...

Fixing Date, Time and Zone on RHEL 6 command line

Had to fix all time related issues on a remote RHEL 6 server which runs without any windowing system. Plain ol' command line. Documenting steps here for future reference: Check to see if your date and timezone settings are accurate: # date # cat /etc/sysconfig/clock The server I accessed had wrong settings for both the commands. Here are the steps I used to correct: Find out your timezone from the folder /usr/share/zoneinfo # ls /usr/share/zoneinfo Mine was pointing to America/EDT instead of  Asia/Calcutta Update and save the /etc/sysconfig/clock file to # sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/clock ZONE="Asia/Calcutta" UTC=true ARC=false Remove the /etc/localtime # sudo rm /etc/localtime Create a new soft link to your time zone # cd /etc # sudo ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Asia/Calcutta /etc/localtime # ls -al localtime Now it should show the link to your time zone Set your hardware clock to UTC # sudo hwclock --systohc --utc # hwclock --show Update your t...
