How to create a Search Input using jQuery Mobile ?

Last Updated : 14 Dec, 2020

jQuery Mobile is a web based technology used to make responsive content that can be accessed on all smartphones, tablets and desktops. In this article, we will be creating a search input using jQuery Mobile.

Approach:

First, we add the jQuery Mobile scripts needed for the project.

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.css” />
<script src=”http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js”></script>
<script src=”http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.js”></script>

We can now start creating the search inputs that would be based on jQuery Mobile.

Example:

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html> 
  
<head> 
    <link rel="stylesheet" href= 
"http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.css" /> 
  
    <script src= 
        "http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"> 
    </script> 
  
    <script src= 
"http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.4.5/jquery.mobile-1.4.5.min.js"> 
    </script> 
</head> 
  
<body> 
    <center> 
        <h1>GeeksforGeeks</h1> 
  
        <h4>

        </h4> 
        <form style="width: 50%;"> 
            <label for="searchArea"> 
                Search Content 
            </label> 
              
            <input type="search" name="searchArea" 
                id="searchArea" value="" 
                placeholder="Search Text..."> 
        </form>
