##Anne-Gaelle Colom

  • corrections to the api docs:
    • fixed dead links

    • updated jquery core and mobile versions for v mouse events example

link Gabriel Schulhof

  • Started flattening custom select: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/pull/6108
  • Need to make it work outside the page before I can study the performance impact of the way we create various bits of DOM. I’m pretty sure if we have a template which we create and clone the first time, and merely clone on all subsequent occasions, then we can gain a significant performance boost (http://jsperf.com/create-vs-clone-with-params).
  • Alex had the idea to separate the show-as-dialog functionality and place it into an extension. This functionality must be unavailable when the custom select is placed outside a page, because we cannot display a dialog on top of random content.
