Text fields inside ListView
in Developing jQuery Mobile
•

Hi,
An application I'm building uses a lot of text fields, and layout-wise it makes sense to put them inside a ListView. A problem I ran into was that the space character isn't registered inside these text fields, so users can't type spaces.
Looking at the ListView widget code, I see that the space character for all list items is captured and used to trigger a click event. While I can see how this is desirable in many cases, it is a problem when all I want is a text field that allows spaces.
The "proper" fix in my mind is to add an option to the widget so that this behaviour can be toggled at creation, and that's what I've done to solve my problem locally. This brings me to two questions:
1) Is that really the proper fix? (I'm still rather new to jQuery.)
2) Can I submit a patch for this? (I'm also new to open source.)
