Once the browser has been configured, open your application’s index.html file in
the browser. You can press Ctrl+O on Windows or Command+O on Macintosh to
open the File Open dialog. Once the page has loaded, you need to enable Ripple
for the selected page. To do this, complete one of the following options:
• Click the Ripple icon to the right of the browser’s address bar to open a
window, allowing you to enable Ripple for the loaded page.
• Right-click the page, open the Emulator menu, and then select Enable.
• Append ?enableripple=true to the file URL to enable Ripple directly
within the address bar when loading an application’s index.html file.
Once the RMEE is enabled for the loaded page, the browser will display a page,
shown in Figure 2-14, that prompts you to identify which type of emulation you
want to enable for this page. As you can see, the RMEE supports PhoneGap plus
several other platforms and frameworks. Click the PhoneGap button to continue.
