## Fixed toolbars

- Basics
- Options
- Methods
- Events

The fixedtoolbar plugin has the following options:

`visibleOnPageShow` boolean

  default: true

  This determines whether the toolbar is visible or not when its parent page is shown. This option is also exposed as a data attribute: `data-visible-on-page-show="false"`

      $("[data-role=header]").fixedtoolbar({ visibleOnPageShow: false });

`disablePageZoom` boolean

  default: true

  This determines whether user-scaling should be disabled on pages that contain fixed toolbars. This option is also exposed as a data attribute: `data-disable-page-zoom="false"`

      $("[data-role=header]").fixedtoolbar({ disablePageZoom: false });

`transition` string

  default: "slide" (which ends up using slideup and slidedown)

  The transition that should be used for showing and hiding a fixed toolbar. Possible values are "none", "fade", and "slide" (or you can write a CSS transition of your own and use that too). This option is also exposed as a data attribute: `data-transition=""fade""`

      $("[data-role=header]").fixedtoolbar({ transition: "fade" });

`fullscreen` boolean

  default: false

  Fullscreen fixed toolbars sit on top of the content at all times when they are visible, and unlike regular fixed toolbars, fullscreen toolbars do not fall back to static positioning when toggled, instead they disappear from the screen entirely. Fullscreen toolbars are ideal for more immersive interfaces, like a photo viewer that is meant to fill the entire screen with the photo itself and no distractions. This page demonstrates toolbars that use the fullscreen option. This option is also exposed as a data attribute: `data-fullscreen=""true""`

      $("[data-role=header]").fixedtoolbar({ fullscreen: true });

  Note:While the data-attribute syntax for this option has not changed, it is now only supported on the toolbar element itself, and not the page element.

`tapToggle` boolean

  default: true

  Enable or disable the user's ability to toggle toolbar visibility with a tap on the screen (or a click, for mouse users). This option is also exposed as a data attribute: `data-tap-toggle=""true""`

      $("[data-role=header]").fixedtoolbar({ tapToggle: true });

  Note: This behavior was formerly configurable as follows, but as of version 1.1 this syntax is no longer supported:

      $.mobile.fixedToolbars
         .setTouchToggleEnabled(false);

`tapToggleBlacklist` string

  default: "a, .ui-header-fixed, .ui-footer-fixed"

  A list of jQuery selectors that should be ignored for tap-toggling the toolbars.

      $("[data-role=header]").fixedtoolbar({ tapToggleBlacklist: "a, input, select, textarea, .ui-header-fixed, .ui-footer-fixed" });

`hideDuringFocus` string

  default: "input, select, textarea"

  A list of jQuery selectors that should cause the toolbars to hide while focused, except if they are in a fixed toolbar.

      $("[data-role=header]").fixedtoolbar({ hideDuringFocus: "input, select, textarea" });

`updatePagePadding` boolean

  default: true

  Since toolbars can vary in height depending on the content they contain, this option automatically updates the padding on the page element to ensure that fixed toolbars have adequate space in the document when they are statically positioned, and when scrolled to the top or bottom of the page. When enabled, the padding updates during many operations, such as pageshow, during page transitions, and on resize and orientationchange. As an optimization, we would recommend that you consider disabling this option and adding a rule to your CSS to set the padding of the page div to match the EM height of your toolbars, such as `.ui-page-header-fixed { padding-top: 4.5em; }`. This option is also exposed as a data attribute: `data-update-page-paddinge=""false""`

      $("[data-role=header]").fixedtoolbar({ updatePagePadding: false });

`supportBlacklist` function

  default: function that returns a boolean value

  CSS `position: fixed` support is very difficult to test; in fact, at the time of version 1.1 release, there was no known way to reasonably test for fixed support without turning up false positives or negatives in certain popular browsers. This option is a function that attempts to opt-out some popular platforms that are known to be troublesome with `position: fixed` . Often, these platforms support `position: fixed` partially, which can be worse than not supporting it at all. If overriding this option with your own blacklist logic, you simply need to provide a function that returns a true or false result when called upon initialization. You must set it on mobileinit, so that it applies when the plugin is initially created.

      $( document ).bind("mobileinit", function(){
        $.mobile.fixedtoolbar.prototype.options.supportBlacklist = function(){
          var result;
          // logic to determine whether result should be true or false
          return result;
        };
      })

`initSelector` CSS selector string

  default: ":jqmData(position='fixed')"

  This is used to define the selectors (element types, data roles, etc.) that will automatically be initialized as fixed toolbars. To change which elements are initialized, bind this option to the mobileinit event:

      $( document ).bind( "mobileinit", function(){
      	$.mobile.fixedtoolbar.prototype.options.initSelector = ".myselector";
      });
