29 <h2>jQuery Mobile Overview</h2>
31 <p>jQuery’s mobile strategy can be summarized simply: A unified user interface system that works seamlessly across all popular mobile device platforms, built on the rock-solid jQuery and jQuery UI foundation. Focused on a <a href="features.html">feature-rich</a> but lightweight codebase built on progressive enhancement with a flexible, <a href="../api/themes.html">theming system</a> and <a href="http://www.jquerymobile.com/themeroller" target="_new">ThemeRoller tool</a>. </p>
32 <p>The framework includes an <a href="../pages/page-navmodel.html">Ajax navigation</a> system that brings animated page <a href="../pages/page-transitions.html">transitions</a> and a core set of UI widgets: <a href="../pages/page-anatomy.html">pages</a>, <a href="../pages/page-dialogs.html">dialogs</a>, <a href="../toolbars/docs-bars.html">toolbars</a>, <a href="../lists/docs-lists.html">listviews</a>, <a href="../buttons/buttons-types.html">buttons</a> with <a href="../buttons/buttons-icons.html">icons</a>, <a href="../forms/forms-all.html">form elements</a>, <a href="../content/content-collapsible-set.html">accordions</a>, <a href="../content/content-collapsible.html">collapsibles</a>, and more.</p>
34 <p>The critical difference with our approach is the <a href="platforms.html">wide variety of mobile platforms we’re targeting</a> with jQuery Mobile so no browser or device is left behind. We've also focused on making jQuery Mobile <a href="getting-started.html">easy to learn</a> with a simple, <a href="../api/data-attributes.html">markup-based system</a> to applying behavior and theming. For more advanced developers, there is a rich API of <a href="../api/globalconfig.html">global configuration options</a>, <a href="../api/events.html" id="" title="events">events</a>, and <a href="../api/methods.html" id="" title="methods">methods</a> to <a href="../pages/page-scripting.html" id="" title="page-scripting">apply scripting</a>, <a href="../pages/page-dynamic.html" id="" title="page-dynamic">generate dynamic pages</a>, and even <a href="../pages/phonegap.html" id="" title="phonegap">build native apps</a> with tools like PhoneGap.</p>
36 <p>To make this broad support possible, all pages in jQuery Mobile are built on a foundation of <strong>clean, semantic HTML</strong> to ensure compatibility with pretty much any web-enabled device. In devices that interpret CSS and JavaScript, jQuery Mobile applies <strong>progressive enhancement techniques</strong> to unobtrusively transform the semantic page into a rich, interactive experience that leverages the power of jQuery and CSS. <a href="accessibility.html">Accessibility features</a> such as WAI-ARIA are tightly integrated throughout the framework to provide support for screen readers and other assistive technologies.</p>
