Enables bookmarkable #hash history. The jQuery Mobile .hashchange() event handler enables very basic bookmarkable #hash history by providing a callback function bound to the window.onhashchange event. The onhashchange event fires when a window's hash changes. In browsers that support it, the native HTML5 window.onhashchange event is used. In IE6/7 (and IE8 operating in "IE7 compatibility" mode), a hidden iframe is created to allow the back butt

Create a serialized representation of an array, a plain object, or a jQuery object suitable for use in a URL query string or Ajax request. In case a jQuery object is passed, it should contain input elements with name/value properties. This function is used internally to convert form element values into a serialized string representation (See .serialize() for more information). As of jQuery 1.3, the return value of a function is used instead of the fun

Finds the elements of an array which satisfy a filter function. The original array is not affected. The $.grep() method removes items from an array as necessary so that all remaining items pass a provided test. The test is a function that is passed an array item and the index of the item within the array. Only if the test returns true will the item be in the result array. The filter function will be passed two arguments: the current array item and it

Get the closest ancestor element that is positioned. Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .offsetParent() method allows us to search through the ancestors of these elements in the DOM tree and construct a new jQuery object wrapped around the closest positioned ancestor. An element is said to be positioned if it has a CSS position attribute of relative, absolute, or fixed. This information is useful for calculating offsets f

Determine whether or not the list has any callbacks attached. If a callback is provided as an argument, determine whether it is in a list. callbacks.has( [callback ] ) version added: 1.7 callback Function() The callback to search for.

Filter method to respect data-enhance=false parent elements during manual enhancement. For users that wish to respect data-enhance=false parent elements during manual enhancement or custom plugin authoring jQuery Mobile provides the $.fn.jqmEnhanceable filter method. Settings: If, and only if, $.mobile.ignoreContentEnabled is set to true, this method will traverse the parent nodes for each DOM element in the jQuery object and where it finds a

Configuring Defaults Working with jQuery Mobile's Auto-initialization Unlike other jQuery projects, such as jQuery and jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile automatically applies many markup enhancements as soon as it loads (long before the document.ready event fires). These enhancements are applied based on jQuery Mobile's default settings, which are designed to work with common scenarios. If changes to the settings are needed, they are easy to configure. The mobileinit event When jQuery Mobile starts, it

Display the matched elements with a sliding motion. The .slideDown() method animates the height of the matched elements. This causes lower parts of the page to slide down, making way for the revealed items. Durations are given in milliseconds; higher values indicate slower animations, not faster ones. The strings 'fast' and 'slow' can be supplied to indicate durations of 200 and 600 milliseconds, respectively. If any other string is supplied, or if th

Remove elements from the set of matched elements. Given a jQuery object that represents a set of DOM elements, the .not() method constructs a new jQuery object from a subset of the matching elements. The supplied selector is tested against each element; the elements that don't match the selector will be included in the result. Consider a page with a simple list on it: <ul> <li>list item 1</li> <li>list item 2</li> &

Register a handler to be called when all Ajax requests have completed. This is an Ajax Event. Whenever an Ajax request completes, jQuery checks whether there are any other outstanding Ajax requests. If none remain, jQuery triggers the ajaxStop event. Any and all handlers that have been registered with the .ajaxStop() method are executed at this time. The ajaxStop event is also triggered if the last outstanding Ajax request is cancelled by returning fa
