I’m using jquerymobile. And on a list I have a filter. When a user types something in it filters great. However when I add more items to the list, then the filtering does not refresh.

Any idea how I can refresh the filtering? (re-filter the list?)

Thanks

    Trigger a change event on the search input field like this after items are added to list.

    $(".ui-input-search .ui-input-text").trigger("change");

    A sample:

    <html>
<head>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0.1/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>
<script>
       $("#btn").live("click",function(){
            $("#list").append("<li><a href='#'>100</a></li><li><a href='#'>200</a></li><li><a href='#'>400</a></li><li><a href='#'>500</a></li><li><a href='#'>1000</a></li>");
            $("#list").listview("refresh");
            $("#page").trigger("create");
            $(".ui-input-search .ui-input-text").trigger("change");
       });
</script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0.1/jquery.mobile-1.0.1.min.js"></script>

</head>

<body>
<div id="page" data-role="page">
<div data-role="header">
    <h1>Test Page</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content"> 
    <ul id="list" data-role="listview" data-inset="true" data-filter="true">
        <li><a href="#">1</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">12</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">41</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">8</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">91</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">65</a></li>
    </ul>
    <a data-role="button" id="btn">Add more</a>
</div>
</div><!-- /page -->
</body>

</html>

    Let me know if that helps.

    Update for jQuery Mobile 1.4
    The filter behavior has been separated out into a filterable widget. You can update your listview content and rerun the filter in one swipe:

    $( ".listselector" ).filterable( "refresh" );

    A nice benefit of this is that the list items are filtered immediately. You do not experience the visual glitch of seeing the items for a split second before they get filtered, as you would when manually triggering the input control.
    See http://api.jquerymobile.com/filterable/#method-refresh

    The code above would no longer work, because jQuery Mobile keeps track of the last text entered into the filter, and does not filter if the input has not changed. If you did want to trigger the input control, you would need the following hack to first clear the last entered input:

    $(".ui-input-search input").attr('data-lastval', '').trigger("change");

    But, please use the filterable function going forward.
