How to create a Text 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 a Text 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 text input that would be based on jQuery Mobile.

Example: In this example, we will create a text input area using jQuery Mobile. The data-clear-btn attribute is set to “true” to add a button for clearing the text in the input area.
