prevent enter from doing a form submit on the list search filter

[hakanson]

If you are using a list with a search filter (e.g. http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/lists/lists-search.html) and you hit enter while focus is in the search box, it submits the form and brings you back to the same page with an empty querystring (http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/lists/lists-search.html?)

Not sure if this is expected behavior. In my local code, I added a submit handler on the ancestor form but not sure if this the best way to handle this.

//"search" input widget
if( input.is('[type="search"],[data-type="search"]') ){
// add something like this???
    input.parents("form").submit(function() {
        return false;
    });
}

It was causing me problems running a WebWorks app using jQuery Mobile on the BlackBerry PlayBook simulator (current bug handling querystrings with the simulator).

Good catch, we'll take a look!

It would be nice, if the action URL of the form could be specified alternatively.

This issue has returned in 1.4.2 using the filterable widget brings this issue back where a return or [DONE] or [SEARCH] button on mobile devices causes the page to submit and reload. If the filterable is being used on a widget it should not submit.

Code used on my page:

    <form class="ui-filterable">
    <input type="text" autocomplete="off" placeholder="Search for..." data-type="search" id="filterable-input" />
    </form>
    <ul id="wfList" data-filter="true" data-autodividers="true" data-input="#filterable-input" data-role="listview" data-filter-reveal="true" data-divider-theme="c"></ul>

The listview is built dynamically from AJAX and updated via refresh.
