The jQuery Mobile framework provides a simple way to build CSS-based columns that can also be responsive.
We look at a simple example below.
To build a two-column (50/50%) layout, start with a container with a class of ui-grid-a, and add two child containers inside it classed with ui-block-a for the first column and ui-block-b for the second.
2-Column Grid<!DOCTYPE html>

</head>
<body>
<div data-role='page'>
<div data-role='header'><h1>Grid A</h1></div>
<div class='ui-grid-a'>
<div class='ui-block-a'><div class='ui-bar ui-bar-a' style='height:60px'>Block A</div></div>
<div class='ui-block-b'><div class='ui-bar ui-bar-a' style='height:60px'>Block B</div></div>
</div><!-- /grid-a -->
<div data-role='footer' data-position='fixed'>
<h1>Footer</h1>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is the grid-a with a 2-column block.
In the next example, we will use grid-b which is for 3-column block.
