Question

How to disable the button in coding using jquery mobile?

<div data-role="button" id="val">Value</div>

[Note : I want to disable the button in the coding, not in the design time]

Live Example: http://jsfiddle.net/LHG4L/5/

HTML:

<div data-role="page">
    <div data-role="content">
        <input type="button" id="theButton" name="theButton" value="The Button">
    </div>
</div>

JS:

$('#theButton').attr('disabled',true);

UPDATE:

Link button example:

JS

var clicked = false;

$('#myButton').click(function() {
    if(clicked === false) {
        $(this).addClass('ui-disabled');
        clicked = true;
        alert('Button is now disabled');
    } 
});

$('#enableButton').click(function() {
    $('#myButton').removeClass('ui-disabled');
    clicked = false; 
});

HTML

<div data-role="page" id="home">
    <div data-role="content">

        <a href="#" data-role="button" id="myButton">Click button</a>
        <a href="#" data-role="button" id="enableButton">Enable button</a>

    </div>
</div>

Links styled like buttons have all the same visual options as true
form-based buttons below, but there are a few important differences.
Link-based buttons aren’t part of the button plugin and only just use
the underlying buttonMarkup plugin to generate the button styles so
the form button methods (enable, disable, refresh) aren’t supported.
If you need to disable a link-based button (or any element), it’s
possible to apply the disabled class ui-disabled yourself with
JavaScript to achieve the same effect.
