Swiper not working in Jquery Mobile

8.2k Views Asked by SaurabhLP At 26 April 2025 at 14:37

i am using Swiper by idangero.us with Jquery Mobile...

Here i am using Scroll Container Swiper for a content slider...

Just facing a lot of problem embedding the code together...

http://jsfiddle.net/keuKu/4/embedded/result/

The scrollbar is not appearing as the one in demo and also the scroll is not sticking to the mark where i leave it...

$(function(){
        /* Scroll container: */
        var sScroll = $('.swiper-scroll-container').swiper({
            scrollContainer : true,
            scrollbar : {
                container : '.swiper-scrollbar' 
            }
        })  
     })

I think also some jquery ui libraries effects to swiper on mobile. I solved with adding delay.

setTimeout(() => {
    var swiper = new Swiper('.swiper-container', {
        navigation: {
            nextEl: '.swiper-button-next',
            prevEl: '.swiper-button-prev',
        },
    });
}, 250);

A much simpler solution that worked for me was to make a minimal JQuery Mobile page div, with inside it a plain iframe that links to a complex slider page using src="". This way the slider DOM is separate from your main application and it works inside JQM dialogs etc. too.

First let me tell you what I have done. Document ready (or its anonymous verion) should not be used with jQuery Mobile because it will not trigger correctly during page initialization. Usually it is not a problem but here it is.

Because you need it to initialize inside a certain page I have removed document ready and replaced it with a correct page event. I have also wrapped your code into HTML and BODY tags, I can't make page events work in jsFiddle without it.

Another change, because pageshow triggers each time page is revisited I have used if to check if swiper has already applied its code. I couldn't use other page events because swiper need correct page width and height and those info can only be successfully calculated during the pageshow event.

    if($('.swiper-scroll-container .swiper-scrollbar-cursor-drag').length == 0) {

.swiper-scrollbar {
        width: 100%;
        height: 4px;
        border-radius: 10px;
        position: absolute !important;
        left:0;
        bottom:auto;
        top:0 !important;
        -ms-touch-action: none;
        background: none
    }
    .swiper-scrollbar-drag {
        height: 100%;
        width: 100%;
        position: relative;
