jQuery mobile gives you a very beautiful UI which is compatible with all popular mobile device platforms and i must say its very easy to learn as well.
\nIt gives you a very nice select menu instead of typical select box that we see on our web site, for this we just need to add attribute “data-native-menu”<\/strong> in our select and we are done, e.g;
\n[java]
\n<select name="reminderSettings" id="reminderSettings" data-native-menu="false">
\n<option value="1" selected="selected">1 day before<\/option>
\n<option value="2">2 days before<\/option>
\n<option value="3">3 days before<\/option>
\n<option value="5">5 days before<\/option>
\n<\/select>
\n[\/java]<\/p>\n

But the problem occurs when we need to change the selected value dynamically. Usually we write the following code to change the selected values of select box.
\n[java]
\nfunction setOptionValue(value){
\n var reminderSettings = $("#reminderSettings");
\n reminderSettings.val(value).attr(‘selected’, true).siblings(‘option’).removeAttr(‘selected’);
\n}
\n[\/java]
\nIt will definitely change the selected value but the UI will not reflect it, to reflect this on the UI as well we need to refresh our select box.
\n[java]
\n reminderSettings.selectmenu("refresh", true);
\n[\/java] <\/p>\n

We need to add the above line after changing our select value and its done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
