jQuery Mobile forms combining input elements - jquery-mobile

Question

When using jQuery mobile, is it possible to combine a checkbox or button with a text input? Something like in my image below.
I want to use it as field validation so it will turn red or green when user updates the field.

jQuery Mobile does not include this, but you can do it via CSS.
Here is a DEMO with a couple of options
The first uses a table, so the left button is always the same size and the input grows/shrinks on window resize. While the second option uses a div and bothe button and label grow shrink.
Fot the table, the css removes borders and spacing on the table and sets the first td width to a constant value. The rest of the css makes the button and input look right:
<table id="specialContTbl">
<tr>
<td class="btntd">
<button data-role="none" id="btn">B</button>
</td>
<td class="inptd">
<input data-role="none" type="text" id="inp1" name="inp1" value="" placeholder="enter some text" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
#specialContTbl {
border-spacing: 0;
border-collapse: collapsed;
}
#specialContTbl td {
padding:0;
margin: 0;
border: 0;
vertical-align: top;
}
#specialContTbl td:first-child{
width: 60px;
}
#specialContTbl{
width: 100%;
}
#specialContTbl button, #specialContTbl input {
-webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
-moz-box-sizing: border-box;
box-sizing: border-box;
}
#specialContTbl button {
font-weight: normal;
background: #00f050;
padding: 5px;
color: #333;
border: 1px solid #d4d4d4;
border-right: 0;
border-bottom-left-radius:1em;
border-top-left-radius: 1em;
line-height: 28px;
height: 38px;
width: 100%;
float: left;
text-align: center;
cursor: pointer;
white-space:nowrap;
}
#specialContTbl input {
width: 100%;
height: 38px;
padding: 8px;
border: 1px solid #d4d4d4;
border-bottom-right-radius: 1em;
border-top-right-radius: 1em;
line-height: 18px;
float: right;
box-shadow: inset 0px 2px 2px #ececec;
}
#specialContTbl input:focus {
outline: 0;
}
