The usage fell below 6% in a couple months, tough I can't be 100%

it's the message that helped bringing down the percentage, but I

it helped greatly than a passive You are using an outdated browser.

Or you lost a lot of IE6 users.

Yes. Thank you Felix! best viewed works much better.

This is where I came in. (2002)



All that said, I don't test in IE6 anymore and have not done so for a
year or so.

Re: [WSG] jQuery Mobile for Mobile site

2010-12-21 Thread Tim Kadlec
jQuery Mobile is a nice, if slightly unpolished due to it's very recent
release, framework - but you're right - it's primarily intended for apps and
I think it works much better if an app is what you have in mind.

If you're looking to do something not quite app-like, then I'd point you in
the direction of Yiibu (specifically this page http://yiibu.com/about/site/)
as an example of what you can do. They're experimenting with a mobile first
approach, combined with elements of responsive web design and feature
detection in order to provide their content to as many mobile devices as
possible. If you dig around their site a little bit, you'll see related
articles that are well worth the read.

I would also recommend the Mobile Web Yahoo group which is quite active and
a great resource for mobile web development.
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/mobile-web/

Hope that helps!

Take care,
Tim

 Any one developing Mobile Web has an insight for jQuery Mobile?

 I was studying the framework last night, couldn't quite decide whether it's
 best to adapt it to my mobile web development. After reading the
 documentation and tested all demos, my impression is, it's more geared
 towards Apps.

 The Accessibility, supported platforms (knowing that I wouldn't be able to
 test on Palm, Nokia and Blackerry devices, the supported platforms is very
 attractive) and Navigation: Ajax, hashes  history are very attractive. But
 I am not keen on the idea having to assign an ID to every tag and every
 selector [1].

 See please note

 Thanks!
