Date Changed Event for JQueryMobile datepicker

I'm using the Datebox for JQueryMobile, but I can't find any way to hook in to the date changing event (probably missing something obvious!) I'm using the calendar inline so there is no text field available if that makes a difference.

Is there a way to trigger an event when I select a date in the calendar? Thanks, Becky

    This examples is made on a basis of a DateBox2, tell me if you are using older version.

    Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/ktbcP/15/

        <div data-theme="a" data-role="footer" data-position="fixed">

        </div>
    </div>   
</body>
</html>

    Javascript:

    $(document).on('pageinit', '#index', function(){ 
    $('#mydate').bind('datebox', function(e, p) {
        if ( p.method === 'set' ) {
            e.stopImmediatePropagation()
            alert('Changed');
        }
    });
});

    Explanation

    DateBox2 has several callback functions and set is one of them. What you need to do is bind a datebox event to a input box, like this:

    $('#mydate').bind('datebox', function(e, p) {
    if ( p.method === 'set' ) {
        e.stopImmediatePropagation()
        alert('Changed');
    }
});

    And just check for an appropriate method. Their official documentation holds a full method list.

    Unfortunately event that detects manual date change don't exist, if this is what you need.
