jQuery Modules in Kiosk Mode

Is there a possible way  to use jQuery Modules (like alertify) in a Lockdown or Kiosk Mode ?

I haven't used  jQuery "alertify' before, but I have successfully used jQuery Mobile in MobiConrol kiosk for various Samsung Android devices.   I don't know if the alertify module is totally open-source and all its required codes and resources can be pre-loaded on the devices just as for jQuery Mobile.  (This is important because you don't want your kiosk to fail interacting with the end-user properly if the device is offline). 

If so,  I see no reason why it cannot be used in MobiControl kiosk.   However, the best is to actually try it out on your target device(s), as different device firmware versions and device agent versions may support slightly different javascript/CSS/html5 features in the renderer code.

Raymond.  Do you have any examples of the jquery mobile that you have used in your kiosk?  What do you use it for?

Hi Allen,

I cannot reveal details related to commerical or governmental projects due to confidentiality concerns.   

However, I can just say jQuery Mobile framework works with no problem in my tests. The following are screenshots of  a simple implementation on Samsung and other Android phones, used prmarily in my demo and training sessions to customers.  The first is the first page of a multi-page kiosk with header, footer page tab and page-navigation-arrow buttons.  The second is the third page of the same Kiosk with pop-up menu items to initiate running of MobiControl scripts or other action.

Not tried it myself, but I found this article a wile ago. 
https://www.soti.net/mc/help/javascriptapi/en/index.html 

"Create a file sync rule to download files from the server's C:\scripts folder to the device's %scripts% folder (including sub-folders) and assign the rule."

I hope this can help you in uploading JQuery Modules

The documentation on javascript at https://www.soti.net/mc/help/javascriptapi/en/index.html  mentioned by Dennis is totally irrevelant to using jQuery Mobile in  HTML/CSS/javascript files for Kiosk-mode/lockdown-menu.    Instead, it describes what javascript objects/libraries are available for use in script file supported by the new javascript script engine built into the latest Android device agents.

Thanks for the clarification Raymond. 

I'm just recently experimenting with JavaScript in Mobicontrol. 

Still a lot to learn. ;)
