A way to do "iPhone-like" transitions between webpages, but whitout the overhead of a full (mobile)web framework and with the use of iScroll (v4)

I am looking for a simple way to use transitions you typically see in the native iPhone apps or Android native apps (such as the slider effect, ie. the whole page sliding to the left or the right).

I know those transistions between web pages on my web application are doable with the use of frameworks such as jQuery Mobile, Wink, iUi etc.

Also my application requires a fixed footer and a fixed header with scrollable content. I tried with jQuery Mobile but though the scrolling effect of the content is good, the rendering of the fixed header and footers are not that good.

So I use iScroll 4 instead but I cant use jQuery mobile to do only transistions as the jQuery mobile plays with the DOM etc. which causes some problems within the placement of the divs

Im giving a try with iUI but then again though it seems less 'wide' than jQ mobile, it still is a whole framework for web apps. But Im currently only looking for transitions..

Is there a way to achieve th开发者_C百科ose "full web page" transisitons whitout the use of a javascript framework? Also those framework such as iUI put all the pages inside one only( jQuery Mobile does not which is great ) separating them inside several divs.. this might be problematic with iScroll i guess?

The finest would be to be able to do those transitions between separate html pages, but I don't know if it's even possible ( I mean whitout the use of AJAX world techniques)

I only target modern devices using webkit (Android, iDevices..)

Thanks a lot for your help

You can have a look at http://maker.github.com/ratchet. It mimics the iPhone behavior quite closely, including all transitions.

forget iScroll for mobile applications. It works well but not for all webkit devices and you will have issues with a good chunk of Android devices. If you want something like a native app you need to go for a container model. A container model is basically having a header and a footer and a dynamic container in the middle. This is used by mobile sites like Twitter and Flikr. The dynamic container you can load either with an iframe or ajax (but personally I would stay away from iframes and mobile anything). Also before using any frameworks out there consider the benefits vs cost (size, future dependency and scalability, overhead parsing the JS... etc) because mobile is not desktop development and many developers seem to forget that fact. I currently work for a major social networking site and we have our own framework with is not a byte more then what we need. We used JQuery in the past but it turned out to be too much bloatwhere for the webkit devices we serve (size + parse time + dependency.. etc) and we ended up killing it.
