Dynamically adding collapsible elements
I've seen a few posts on this but none of them really seem to apply, or I could just be reading it wrong. I've got some HTML that's fed to me from a server that I can't really get changed. What I want to do is, grab that HTML, insert it into a div element & have jQuery mobile do it's styling thing on it. I potentially need to do that multiple times, and that's where the pain happens.
When I insert it the 1st time, it's all fine, jqm picks up the addition & styles it perfectly. If I try a 2nd time, jqm doesn't pick it up at all. I've tried making a 'template' that I copy and modify or just inserting static html & neither work.
I've got a test case below, as you'll see, click add new list once, and it's fine, click it again & you get an unstyled select. I've read somewhere that using the live event may work, but that doesn't work in this case either.
Also, I know about the select list selectmenu method in jQuery mobile, but the item I get back could be single/multiple select lists, a bunch of radio buttons or even a set of free text fields. As you can see, I've also tried running the page method on the topmost element, I've also tried running page on the element I'm about to add, all to no avail. :(

//$('#thelisttemplate').page()
})
$('#clearall').click(function() {

</html>
Update: Using naugur's answer below, the add new list function would look like...
$('#addlist').click(function() {
l = $("<select id='thelisttemplate'><option value='1'>1</option><option value='2'>2</option><option value='3'>3</option><option value='4'>4</option><option value='5'>5</option></select>")
$('#thelist').html('<div data-role="collapsible-set" id="newstuff"></div>');
$("#newstuff").html(l).page();
})
Update #2: Apparently this is now deprecated, see below for some ideas on how to fix in beta2.
