        </form>
    </div>

I'm not able to put in the same line two input text. I tried block grid but it didn't work

Answer 1

You should look at two column layout in jquerymobile: jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0.1/docs/content/content-grids.html

Your code should be something like this:

<form action = "./includes/user_form.php" method="post" id = "form">
    <div class="ui-grid-a">
            <div data-role = "fieldcontain" class = "ui-hide-label ui-block-a">
                <label for="name">Name</label>
                <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" placeholder="Name" />
            </div>
            <div data-role ="fieldcontain" class= "ui-hide-label ui-block-b">
                <label for="surname">Surname</label>
                <input type="text" name="surname" id="surname" value="" placeholder="Surname"/>
            </div>
    </div>
 </form>

Answer 2

I know this question is kind of old but I just had the same problem and this is what worked for me:

<fieldset class="ui-grid-a">
<div class="ui-block-a">
        <input type="text" id="" name="" value="">
</div>
<div class="ui-block-b">
        <input type="text" id="" name="" value="">
</div>

You can even add some style to change the relative size of the field.

Answer 3

Just add floats to the divs:

<form action = "./includes/user_form.php" method="post" id = "form">
        <div data-role = "fieldcontain" class = "ui-hide-label" style="float:left">
            <label for="name">Name</label>
            <input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="" placeholder="Name" />
        </div>
        <div data-role ="fieldcontain" class= "ui-hide-label" style="float:left">
            <label for="surname">Surname</label>
            <input type="text" name="surname" id="surname" value="" placeholder="Surname"/>
        </div>
    </form>

Answer 4

I'm using <span> wrapper around input with class that overrides display attribute of nested <div> (generated by jquery mobile). Also you must explicitly set width of input.

Example http://jsfiddle.net/FabyD/

CSS:

.inlineinput div {
    display: inline;
}

HTML:

<div>
    some text
    <span class="inlineinput">
        <input type='text' style='display: inline; width: 50px;' />
    </span>
    some text
    <span class="inlineinput">
        <input type='text' style='display: inline; width: 50px;' />
    </span>
    some text
</div>
