Repository Updates
iOS Theme for jQuery Mobile Good news! I’ve just pushed some major changes for my iOS jQuery Mobile theme. It now works with jQuery Mobile 1.1.0, which was a bit of a struggle. It also forced me to do some major code cleanup, delivering cross browser gradients and various enhancements I had been putting off. A full list of changes and resolved bugs follows: Supports jQuery Mobile...
