@Omar: I tried to modify the code with your suggestions, but it still doesn't work. Maybe I overlooked something?

Solution

  • Here's a working example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/7kGdE/

    Map page must be initialized during the pageshow event because only at that point correct height can b e calculated.

    Also use of this function is necessary:

    function getRealContentHeight() {
        var header = $.mobile.activePage.find("div[data-role='header']:visible");
        var footer = $.mobile.activePage.find("div[data-role='footer']:visible");
        var content = $.mobile.activePage.find("div[data-role='content']:visible:visible");
        var viewport_height = $(window).height();
    
        var content_height = viewport_height - header.outerHeight() - footer.outerHeight();
        if((content.outerHeight() - header.outerHeight() - footer.outerHeight()) <= viewport_height) {
            content_height -= (content.outerHeight() - content.height());
        } 
        return content_height;
    }
    

    It is used to set a correct content height according to available height, header and footer height. If you take a look at this ARTICLE you will find much more information with few examples.
