Jquery Mobile onSearch event handler

i'm using jquery mobile with phoneGap for creating a application in android.

In HTML5 standards, <input type='search' onsearch='searchHandler()'>

But the search event is not triggered ?

Is it because i'm using in mobile.

Is there any other way to use that ?

You can bind to the change event to make sure you capture the search string after the user is done typing it:

$('input[type="search"]').on('change', function (event) {
    //the user has changed the value and de-focused the element or submitted the search
});​

Here is a demo: http://jsfiddle.net/w9Bdg/1/

Note that .on() is new as of jQuery 1.7 and if you are using an older version it's the same in this case as .bind().
