jquery mobile not loading in phonegap app

I am attempting to learn how to use jQuery mobile and phonegap together. I have the following basic index page:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8" />
        <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" />
        <meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no" />
        <!-- WARNING: for iOS 7, remove the width=device-width and height=device-height attributes. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4323 -->
        <meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, minimum-scale=1, width=device-width, height=device-height, target-densitydpi=device-dpi" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css" />

        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.mobile-1.4.3.css" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.mobile.external-png-1.4.3.css" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.mobile.icons-1.4.3.css" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.mobile.inline-png-1.4.3.css" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.mobile.inline-svg-1.4.3.css" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.mobile.structure-1.4.3.css" />
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.mobile.theme-1.4.3.css" />


        <title>UIAdv</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="app">
            <h1>Welcome to UIAdv</h1>
            <a href="#" class="ui-btn ui-btn-inline">Anchor</a>
        </div>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="cordova.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery.mobile-1.4.3.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript">
            app.initialize();
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

In there I have the following line which is supposed to render a button using jquery library:

        <a href="#" class="ui-btn ui-btn-inline">Do Something</a>

When the application is run using phonegap run ios and build is successful, I get the attached image output:

enter image description here

Whereas the button should look like this:

enter image description here

When I open the index.html in a browser (inside the directory of phonegap app), I get the following in console:

enter image description here

And I am guessing this is causing the problem. I need your support to solve this first-encounter problem (to myself). I downloaded all jQuery mobile zip file and placed all files within in respective folders in the phonegap app.

Thanks,

The cordova.js script tag should be in the header. Also you need to check that the cordova.js file is present in the www directory of the app. I have rewritten the html file. You can use the code below to test your jquery mobile app. Happy coding!!! 

<html>
<head>
    <title>UIAdv</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="format-detection" content="telephone=no" />
    <meta name="msapplication-tap-highlight" content="no" />

    <!-- link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css" /-->

    <!-- script type="text/javascript" src="js/index.js"></script -->
    <!-- script type="text/javascript"> app.initialize(); </script -->
</head>
<body>
<div class="app">
    <h1>Welcome to UIAdv</h1>
    <a href="#" class="ui-btn ui-btn-inline">Anchor</a>
</div>
</body>
</html>
