Web and WebWorks Development

For those that haven't seen it yet, my mind was blown:

Newly added support for PlayBook, BB10, and even 5.0 devices. If you're looking for a UI framework that gives you a native look-and-feel across devices, this one is absolutely worth checking out.

This screenshot just says it all (also, BatBerry pictures):

Being a web developer myself, huge thanks to Tim Neil and the community for their continued dedication to this.

BlackBerry 5 support is "ROUGH" to say the least.. but BB6+ support is pretty good.

I've posted up all the current  milestones... things are pretty fluid but at least there's a plan

I'm currently working on refactoring the README.md into the wiki so that each control can have its own page of instructions and samples.

There's a video of the Jam Session demonstration available too:

When I woke up and saw the video, I just needed to get startet right away To build an image grid was actually straight forward and looks beautiful! 

I am just stuck with adding a href od onclick to the pictures to open a context menu. I tried various things to add the attribute to a <a> or directly to the <div> which contains the image. For example:

listItem = document.createElement('div');
listItem.setAttribute('data-bb-type', 'item');
listItem.setAttribute('data-bb-img', itemPicture);
listItem.setAttribute('data-bb-title', itemTitle);
listItem.setAttribute('onclick', 'alert('Hi');';
 

 Unfortunatly I couldnt find a solution. Is it possible that bb.grid.apply(); is removing any href or onclick element? 

best bert

I honesly haven't tried creating an grid image item dynamically...  try the following

listItem.onclick = function() { 
                      alert('Hi');
                   };

Oh.. and hopefully the press-and-hold context menu will automatically be wired to the grid list for you

ha! working perfectly. Many thanks. Code will be online tomorrow!

A built in function for the grid would be helpful anyway
