Adaptive for Mobile Use

This widget is an adaptive widget in v3. If you are running v2.3.x or earlier, it is not adaptive. You can download v3 here: Downloads Page.

An adaptive widget is different from a jQuery UI widget in that you can use it in both mobile and non-mobile web applications. To use it in non-mobile applications, just use the regular help. To use it in mobile applications:

• Use jQuery Mobile instead of jQuery UI references
• Do not initialize the widget in script (unless you need to for complex widgets like charts)
• Use the data-role attribute to create the widget in markup

These steps are demonstrated in the jQuery Mobile topic.
