title: jquery mobile - forcing panel open on wider screens
body: <p>I've been trying to test my jquery mobile app on multiple devices.  I currently have a panel that is opened via swipe or clicking on a 'menu' button. </p>
  
  <p>However, on wide screens, the app just looks funky.  WAY too wide.  I understand this is meant for mobile, but, why not format it for ipads/surface/androids as well?</p>
  
  <p>To do this, I'd like to shorten the width by requiring the panel to be open at all times when the width exceeds a specific value.</p>
  
  <p>I've dug through the documentation, and the closest thing I found was: </p>
  
  <p><code>class="ui-responsive-panel"</code> from the following link: <a href="http://view.jquerymobile.com/master/docs/widgets/panels/panel-fixed.php" rel="nofollow">http://view.jquerymobile.com/master/docs/widgets/panels/panel-fixed.php</a></p>
  
  <p>After adding it to my page header, I noticed that I can't 'swipe' the menu away when the window is wide.  When I shrink the window (either on a pc browser, or by rotating the device), it can be swiped.</p>
  
  <p>Is anyone familiar with this, and willing to shed some light? </p>
