Question

I dynamically generated my listview. Now, every li element of the listview ul has a specific event due to event binding during the generation of the list. Now this listview data-filter=”true”.

Then from another textfield(from another jqm page), I need to input a string, on which upon keyup of enter I need to pass the value to the filter fieldtext(the one for filtering of the listview) then get the li elements that corresponds to the passed value.

Can anyone point me to the right direction?

I approach it in a different way:

$.each($('#myListView').children(),function(){
    var text = $(this).attr("data-filtertext");
    if(text.toLowerCase().search(search) > 0){
        //do event
        //Since I generate the data-filtertext attr, 
        //and I've guarantee that it wont have duplicate, so: 
        $(this).children("a").click();
    }
});
