Using button inputs has this drawback of not being able to change the attributes of an input in a way that would propagate to jquerymobile's button. Then there is only ne way:

$('#myButton').parent().find('.ui-btn-text').text('zzzzz');

If the input button is not necessary to use the application without any javascript present (or you don't want it to work without javascript) then you should always use tags, because they can be containers.
