A short introduction to jQuery Mobile
This chapter is not a full tutorial for jQuery Mobile (jQM) by any means, but it is a quick-start guide for using it with Highcharts. JQuery Mobile is a web development framework for mobile devices built on top of jQuery. It is designed to be compatible across all mobile platforms, and the UI look and feel emulate native mobile applications. The benefit of this is low cost development in a single-source code, without the need for testing across all mobile platforms and browsers.
Before we drill down into how Highcharts can be integrated with jQM, a few important concepts need to be understood.
