href in popup listview: jquery selector not selecting intended element
In the following html block in a jqm app, I cannot select "DEF" (which is in the second <li> element):
I want my user to be able to click on "DEF" whereupon I hope to display json data on the same page.
This is the jquery I'm using to get that DEF:
Since I'm testing this on a PC with a mouse, I looked at the issue in Chrome Developer Tools, Source tab -> Event Listener Breakpoints -> Mouse -> Click and then hitting f11 until it stops jumping around.
I see that the cursor winds up in some inescapable while loop in jquery-2.1.1.js on line 4521.
Obviously my selector isn't going to work. Any ideas on how I could make it work?
