Mixing JQuery Mobile & JQuery UI

Question

We\'re thinking to combine JQuery UI and Mobile. Does somebody has some experience with this ?

Past experience is proving tricky jquery forum, but it\'s a bit old.

Answer 1

The current version of jQuery UI 1.10.4 and jQuery Mobile 1.4.2 do not play well together. Styles in Mobile are ruined as soon as you include jQuery UI into your page.

However, if you need only particular functionality from jQuery UI, as in my case I only need Draggable/Droppable/Sortable interactions, you can create custom jQuery UI download at https://jqueryui.com/download/ and include interactions only. Then you can simply delete everything except js/jquery-ui-1.10.4.custom.min.js file and all works well together again.

I expect you'll run into issues using jQuery UI widgets even using this approach. But, it makes sense to use jQuery Mobile stuff only.
