Change position of input filed for jQuery Mobile Filter List - jquery-mobile

Question

Im using the jQuery Mobile Filter List:
http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/lists/lists-search-with-dividers.html
Is it possible to move the position of the input field so I can put it into a div already on my page?
Using jQuery's appendTo seems to work fine but its kind of a hacky solution. Thanks

Answer 1

this is what I found while searching for solution to a similar problem.
HTML code example:
<div data-role="page" id="page-id">
<div data-role="content">
<div data-role="fieldcontain">
<input type="search" name="password" id="search" value="" />
</div>
<div class="filter-div" data-filter="one">1</div>
<div class="filter-div" data-filter="two">2</div>
<div class="filter-div" data-filter="three">3</div>
<div class="filter-div" data-filter="four">4</div>
<div class="filter-div" data-filter="five">5</div>
</div>
</div>
JS code example:
$(document).delegate('#page-id', 'pageinit', function () {
var $filterDivs = $('.filter-div');
$('#search').bind('keyup change', function () {
if (this.value == '') {
$filterDivs.slideDown(500);
} else {
var regxp = new RegExp(this.value),
$show = $filterDivs.filter(function () {
return ($(this).attr('data-filter').search(regxp) > -1);
});
$filterDivs.not($show).slideUp(500);
$show.slideDown(500);
}
});
});
This way you can place your input text box anywhere on your page and it should properly filter a list of items you want.
