Dynamically creating a navbar

Question

I'm creating a string that is an unordered list, and I'd like to replace my navbar.

But I lose my formatting when I say:

$(':jqmData(role=navbar)').html(str).trigger("create");

Answer 1

I know this is a little late but it worked for me. Try doing the .trigger('create') on the parent of the navbar element

Answer 2

does this work?

$(':jqmData(role=navbar)').html(str).navbar();
