JQM directives like data-filter=true  on data lists don't show up, however the same works on WIN32(PC version) of the app.
Doesn't the Internet Explorer on WP devices support JQM?
Alternatively, is webkit for WP available?

jQuery Mobile 1.3 Supported Platforms | jQuery Mobile

What version?

A-Grade:

Windows Phone 7.5-7.8 – Tested on the HTC Surround (7.5), HTC Trophy (7.5), LG-E900 (7.5), Nokia Lumia 800 (7.8)

No other versions of Windows Phone are listed with any compatability at all.

I would also search jQuery Mobile Issues on github for any gotchas with specific widgets.

Rhodes comes with with JQM 1.3, but if you are starting a new project, I would drop-in JQM 1.4 instead. While 1.3 *might* work with newer Windows Phone, you can never be certain that some library supports newer devices that came out after it's release! That is an ongoing issue with *all* Javascript libraries. You really have to keep up-to-date!

1.4 officially supports more Windows Phones, and is the current JQM version:

jQuery Mobile 1.4 Supported Platforms | jQuery Mobile

Windows Phone 7.5-8 – Tested on the HTC Surround (7.5), HTC Trophy (7.5), LG-E900 (7.5), Nokia 800 (7.8), HTC Mazaa (7.8), Nokia Lumia 520 (8), Nokia Lumia 920 (8), HTC 8x (8)

No JQM version supports any Windows Phone before 7.5.

Note that JQM 1.4 is a significant change from JQM 1.3. You would have to carefully pursue the documentation if you are already familiar with 1.3.

You should first test your device/browser with the online jQuery Mobile demos.
