jQuery Forum

I think this is because the "listview" plugin in jquery.mobile.js is too liberal in its parsing of list item contents.

that worked, thanks! i agree that they should change this.

though this hack might mess with the functionality when you actually do want to use an icon.. since jquery seems to add divs after <li> like this:

The documentation actually says that only the first child of the li will be considered, so it seems the selector should be:

"li > img:first-child"

That's my preference as well.  I like the idea of put the img in the right spot to get icon behaviour, as opposed to wrapping it in a needless div to avoid getting the icon behavior.  (Plus, this is what the documentation currently claims is right.)

The docs say:
 To add thumbnails to the left of a list item, simply add an image inside a list item as the first child element.

In jQuery mobile, wrapping the icon in a div doesn't change the thumb behaviour. :-/
Any news on this?

I'm looking for a response on this too... any ideas?
