selectmenu filter (like listview filter)

[aliok]

Mobile browsers are limited and sometimes it is annoying to scroll a long list even with native support. For this kind of selects, I implemented data-filter attribute for selectmenus.

The code I wrote is not jquery-mobile quality, since I was desperate for extension points.
Thus, I didn't send a pull request.

If you also think this is a cool feature, I am here to help integrating it.
Or, what you can also do is providing (or pointing to) some extension points and I can maintain this feature as an additional plugin.

EDIT: here is my fork https://github.com/aliok/jquery-mobile/commits/selectmenu-forceDialog/

Seems like a cool feature, I like. We recently pulled the custom select menu apart from the select with native menus so I can see this working as an extension to the custom menu plugin. We would probably look into this post-1.0 since this will take some time to get right.

Actually, can you add this to the feature request wiki, link to this issue, then close it? We'll re-open if we decide to add it. Thanks!

See ticket #5629. We are planning on making the listview filter a generic widget extension that can be used for custom selects as well.

The filter is a separate widget in 1.4.0, but as far as I know we can't yet use it on the select dialog.
