Default selector

By default, all ul elements with the class="ui-gridview" or data-role="gridview" attribute are displayed as grid view components.

Manual Constructor

To manually create a grid view component, use the component constructor from the tau namespace:

The constructor requires an HTMLElement parameter to create the component, and you can get it with the document.getElementById() method. The constructor can also take a second parameter, which is an object defining the configuration options for the component.
