title: jquery mobile slider plugin vs jquery ui slider
body: <p>I'm trying to make my first steps with jquery mobile and I would like to start with some fun.</p>
  
  <p>I've a page which displays an interactive svg image, which can be changed when dragging a slider. (<a href="http://www.buckny.com" rel="nofollow">buckny</a>) The slider comes from jquery ui and perfoms reasonable on a normal browser but not on my iphone.</p>
  
  <p>So I wanted to take a look at jquery mobile. From the documentation I understood that it could be instantiated exactly the same way as with jquery ui: just call </p>
  
  <pre><code>$('selector').slider
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>on a jquery selector. (<a href="http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0/docs/forms/slider/" rel="nofollow">jquery-mobile slider)</a>
  So I thought if it is that simple I can leave all my code as it is and just include the jquery-mobile library instead of the jquery-ui library and it should work. But apparantly not, does the jquery selector element need to be inside a form element? I understand from the docs that that is not necessary.
  Where do I go wrong? </p>
