This is the second part of a two-part tutorial, in which we use PHP, MySQL and jQuery mobile to build a simple computer web store. In the previous part we created the models and the controllers, and this time we will be writing our views.
jQuery mobile
First, lets say a few words about the library we will be using. jQuery mobile is a user interface library that sits on top of jQuery and provides support for a wide array of devices in the form of ready to use widgets and a touch-friendly development environment. It is still in beta, but upgrading to the official 1.0 release will be as simple as swapping a CDN URL.
The library is built around progressive enhancement. You, as the developer, only need to concern yourself with outputting the correct HTML, and the library will take care of the rest. jQuery mobile makes use of the HTML5 data- attributes and by adding them, you instruct the library how it should render your markup.
In this tutorial we will be using some of the interface components that this library gives us – lists, header and footer bars and buttons, all of which are defined using the data-role attributes, which you will see in use in the next section.
