Load jQuery Mobile from CDN

lamp CDN stands for Content Delivery Network, i.e., a content distribution network. Its basic idea is to avoid as much as possible the bottlenecks and links on the Internet that may affect the speed and stability of data transmission, making content delivery faster and more stable.

Using the jQuery core, you don't need to install anything on your computer; you only need to load the following cascading style sheets (.css) and JavaScript libraries (.js) in your web page to use jQuery Mobile:

jQuery Mobile CDN:

<head>

<!-- meta uses viewport to ensure the page can be freely scaled -->
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

<!-- Import jQuery Mobile styles -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.css">

<!-- Import jQuery library -->
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.3.min.js"></script>

<!-- Import jQuery Mobile library -->
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.js"></script>
