Jquery Mobile checkbox-list does not update when adding items and “refreshing” the script to style it

Question

It is very easy to add a checkbox list in JQuery Mobile, the scripts automatically style/change the following html and give it functionality:

Don't panic. As you are using jQuery Mobile, this also could be done very easy. First of all, you should set the structure of your page:

<div data-role="page" id="page-1">
  <div data-role="main" class="ui-content">
      ...here goes your fieldset
  </div>
</div>

You should append the new checkbox inside the controlgroup container:

$(document).on("pagecreate", "#page-1", function() {
    var item5 = $("<label for='checkbox-5a'>Flips</label><input type='checkbox' id='checkbox-5a'></input>"), 
        liste = $("#liste");
    liste.controlgroup("container").append(item5);
    $(item5[1]).checkboxradio();
    liste.controlgroup("refresh");
});

BTW, you may also use $(document).on("pagecreate") instead of $(document).ready.
