At the WES 2009 event RIM announced that they were almost 100% tested with using JQuery in Widget development, does anyone know how this works?
I've tried following the demo from their site and added the following:
<head>
....
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
....
<a href='#' id="viewDets">View Details</a>
</body>
I've then added a standard jQuery click event in the other included js file:
$(function() {
$('#viewDets').click(function() {
alert('hi');
});
});
but when I click on the #viewDets linke nothing is happening. I tried using an <input type="button" id="viewDets"> but nothing with this either.
Lastly I tried adding a manual onclick="testJQuery()" to a button and then had the javascript as
function testJQuery(){
alert($);
}
which alerted the following:
function (E, F) {
return new o.fn.init(E,F)
}
which shows that jQuery was loaded correctly? Does this mean that currently RIM don't support using jQuery in their widgets or do they have a seperate js file or something?
