the listview should have a id property - allows the end-user to more easily then use JS to populate the ULs from a REST endpoint.

From our TiMo tutorial:
http://www.jboss.org/jdf/examples/ticket-monster/tutorial/Introduction/#_adding_a_jquery_mobile_client_application

$.getJSON("rest/events", function(events) {
// console.log("returned are " + events);
var listOfEvents = $("#listOfItems");
listOfEvents.empty();
$.each(events, function(index, event)

{ // console.log(event.name); listOfEvents.append("<li><a href='#'>" + event.name + "</a>"); }

);
listOfEvents.listview("refresh");
});
