Question

$(this).css("background-color", "red");

For normal input I style the background RED within my for each input loop which works fine.

But when its a select it doesnt seem to work. The jquery mobile select image still stays the same!

Im using JQuery + JQuery Mobile.

How do i force it to change? Even if its just adding a border?

Answer 1

My solution for this was

$(element).parent().addClass("inputRequired");

Getting the parent of the element(which is the select tag) and adding the required class to the DIV instead.
