Auto initialization

If the component is added later to the DOM, e.g. with an Ajax page load, a custom function named enhance needs to be called in order to initialize the dynamically added component. When the enhance function is called on a DOM element, all form elements will be initialized inside this element.

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.onreadystatechange = function() {
    if (xhr.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE) {
        var page = document.getElementById('page');
        page.innerHTML = xhr.responseText;
        mobiscroll.enhance(page);
    }
}
xhr.open('GET', '/myform', true);
xhr.send();

theme data-theme String undefined

Sets the visual appearance of the component.

If it is 'auto' or undefined, the theme will automatically be chosen based on the platform. If custom themes are also present, they will take precedence over the built in themes, e.g. if there's an iOS based custom theme, it will be chosen on the iOS platform instead of the default iOS theme.

Supplied themes:
  • 'ios' - iOS theme
  • 'material' - Material theme
  • 'windows' - Windows theme
It's possible to modify theme colors or create custom themes.
Make sure that the theme you set is included in the downloaded package.
themeVariant data-theme-variant String undefined

Controls which variant of the theme will be used (light or dark).

Possible values:
  • 'light' - Use the light variant of the theme.
  • 'dark' - Use the dark variant of the theme.
  • 'auto' or undefined - Detect the preferred system theme on devices where this is supported.

To use the option with custom themes, make sure to create two custom themes, where the dark version has the same name as the light one, suffixed with '-dark', e.g.: 'my-theme' and 'my-theme-dark'.

variant data-variant String 'standard' Specifies the type of the button. Possible values: standard, flat, outline.
