Friendly FYI :-). "data-mini=true" is an HTML5 data attribute. So, in the
source it might look like:

<input id='foo' class='search' data-mini='true'>

When talking to data-attributes with jQuery, you might be able to eke out
better performance using .data('mini'). E.g.: 

$('input').data('mini', 'true');

Rather than having jQuery look for an attribute called data-mini, it will
hone in directly on any present "data-" then match with "mini."

Here's some further reading: http://api.jquery.com/data/

Good luck! I hope you share the final result.

Thanks for the input, Mark. 

I don't think there is a textinput method in jQuery or jQuery Mobile.

This looks more syntactical than anything else.

Try:

$('input').textinput({mini:true});

This hasn't been tested.

Thanks,
Mark
