Hey Todd,
Thanks for the quick reply!
I've already tried simple dialog before I posted my question here, it works good while using a browser but when it comes to a mobile device (small screen resolution to be exact) it just mimics jQM's default dialog (opening a new page).
What I'm looking for is the same mechanism that the selectmenu is using ( in short lists, not the case where it
opens a huge page with an enormous list

)
Any other suggestions?
