<html>
  
  <head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.6.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
  </head>
  
  <body>
    <ul id="genres" data-role="listview"></ul>


    <script>
    $(document).ready(function(){
      $.getJSON("http://www.internetdj.com/developers/api.php?api_key=API_KEY&request_type=genre", function(genres){
        $.each(genres, function(i,genre) {
          if(genre.parent_genre_id=='0') {
            var s_gen=encodeURIComponent(genre.genre_name);
            $('#genres').append('<li>'+genre.genre_name+'</li>');
          }
        });
        $('#genres').listview('refresh');
