I suppose it's possible, though I don't understand the aversion to these frameworks. They make life much easier, and mitigate much of the hassle involved in developing web software for mobile devices. They also reduce the need to re-invent the wheel. As far as modal dialogs, that isn't a very common UI design pattern on mobile devices. That said, they work much the same way that they would on a normal browser: use zindex to bring your modal page above everything else, and have a background which locks things behind your dialog. I am a strong advocate for frameworks - particularly UI ones. -- ~ Mike Stemle, Jr. On Feb 13, 2012, at 21:49, "Rick Faircloth" <r...@whitestonemedia.com> wrote: > > I've avoided the frameworks, although I have worked > with jQuery Mobile, just to get a feel for it.
