jQuery Forum

your using jquery 1.7.2 this is not supported by jquery mobile yet and will cause this error

I updated my index.xhtml to use jquery 1.7.1, added a page, and included css, but the error is the same.

I've got exactly the same problem.

The problem is in jquery.mobile-1.1.0.js where at certain places empty elements are created using the HTML-syntax without closing tags. I have attached a modified jquery.mobile-1.1.0.js file where this was changed at the lines 1573, 1574, 1602, 1664, 2668, 4026, 5472, 5797, 5801, 6355, 6408, 6543, 6555, 6557, 6564, 6568, 6577 and 7034.
