jQuery doesn't work in Blackberry OS 5? Alternatives?

Question

I did a small javascript program for BlackBerry OS 5, using jQuery. Unfortunately, when trying in actual device, those functions are not executed:

$(".colorboard").css("background-color","#FF0000");
$(id).unbind('click');
$(id).bind('click', function(event){ alert("hello!")});
$(id).html(mytext);

Why it does not work? There are alternatives that will work on BB OS 5? I tried zepto.js but no luck.

As I know, From O.S 6.0 onwards 90% of javascript and JQuery is worked well; In 5.0 No JQuery as well as javaScript code is wored; — alishaik786, Mar 05 '12 at 04:50
on OS5 javascript is disabled by default in the browser, but it is enabled in webworks apps — Magnetic_dud, Mar 05 '12 at 11:24
For Blackberry webworks you should have atleast 6.0 not 5.0 then how can you say that javascript is enable for webworks; — alishaik786, Mar 05 '12 at 11:58
I tried on real device, webworks works on 5.0, js is enabled, I am 100% sure, some functions are loaded — Magnetic_dud, Mar 05 '12 at 12:22

This is the part where it failed:

$(".colorboard").css("background-color","#FF0000");

So far I also didn't know how to support it, even jQuery mobile theme give-up on this problem. Please refer to this post for more information.

For BB OS5 use every time the element tag name with a class like this:

$("div.colorboard").css("background-color","#FF0000");
