JQuery Mobile 1.3 Official Release

Posted on Friday, February 22, 2013 by RICHARD HARRIS, Executive Editor

The Jquery team has announced the arrival of the public version (1.3) of Jquery Mobile.

This release is focused on elevating responsive web design (RWD) and brings lots of new widgets including panels, dual handle range sliders, and two different responsive table modes. Here are a few things the new version brings to the mobile development table:

Accordion
AJAX Navigation
AutoComplete
Buttons
Checkboxes
Dialogs
Fixed Toolbars
Flip Switches with toggle
Form Elements
ListViews
Transitions
Sliders
Loader Overlays

And the list continues on and on! It really looks fantastic from looking at their online demos

Jquery has always been one of my favorite platforms to develop in and seeing a dedicated focus for mobile makes me very happy. The functions they have included straight out of the box will make it easy for a native developer to start using because they are familiar enough to their native calls that transitioning will be a breeze.

Do I dare say this is another dagger for HTML5 to use in the war against native?
