How do I manipulate the DOM when I using jQuery Mobile?

Question

Do I use the jQuery way ? Or jQuery Mobile also provides functions to manipulate the DOM?

Answer 1

jQuery Mobile includes jQuery so you do it in jQuery way.

Also note that jQuery Mobile does not generate final DOM until the page init events are called:

Note separate events for pages loaded using AJAX (on by default)

Answer 2

Yes, you use standard jQuery techniques for DOM manipulation.
