Question

This is getting a bit crazy.
I have been trying the code for hours now and no luck:

<div data-role="fieldcontain">
    <label for="select-choice-1" class="select">Choose shipping method:</label>
    <select name="select-choice-1" id="select-choice-1">
        <option value="standard">Standard: 7 day</option>
        <option value="rush">Rush: 3 days</option>
        <option value="express">Express: next day</option>
        <option value="overnight">Overnight</option>
    </select>
</div>

From:

http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a4.1/#docs/forms/forms-selects.html

When I test it on my mobile there is no dropdown … actually, nothing hapens at all.

I’m I forgetting something?

If you look at the source of the web page you can see it’s in a form tag:

<form action="#" method="get">

So Adding this between the form tags would get the desired results: Live Example Link

<form action="#" method="get">
    <div data-role="fieldcontain">
        <label for="select-choice-1" class="select">Choose shipping method:</label>
        <select name="select-choice-1" id="select-choice-1">
            <option value="standard">Standard: 7 day</option>
            <option value="rush">Rush: 3 days</option>
            <option value="express">Express: next day</option>
            <option value="overnight">Overnight</option>
        </select>
    </div>
</form>

Another problem it could be:

Try adding this tag to the dropdown: Live Example Link

data-native-menu="false"
