How do you assign li items different classes depending on what is selected on dropdown menu?

I have a webpage that allows the user to select a category from a dropdown menu, then type into an input box. When they hit enter on the input box, a list item is created.
My goal: Based on what category they chose from the dropdown, the list item is assigned a different class. In the CSS, the class would have specifications about positioning (right now, it only has specific background colors for each). Final result would be that each list item is grouped in a different position on the page based on which category the user chose. (For example, all list items of category 1 will be on the bottom-left of the page, and all list items of category 2 will be on the bottom-right of the page, etc, etc...)
In the JS file I have indicated the place where I think the relevant code should go, but as for what to put there I am rather lost.

You could set a data attribute on the dropdown li element with the class name.
<li>1</li>
<li>2</li>
...
Move data attrbute from li to .ActiveListItem:
$('.navbar ul li a').click(function() {
var newClass = $(this).attr('data-newclass');
$('.ActiveListItem').attr('data-newclass', newClass);
...
});
On form submit you get the data attribute. Like this:
$('form').submit(function () {
var inputVal = input.val();
var activeNumber = $('.ActiveListItem').text();
var newClass = $('.ActiveListItem').attr('data-newclass');
...
});
Now you can set the class to any element you want by using .addClass().

How would you switch focus to an input text upon clicking an item on a dropdown menu?

I have a website that has a dropdown menu and an input box. For user comfort, I am thinking it would be nice to have it so that when the user clicks on an option in the dropdown menu, the mouse cursor is immediately focused inside the input box so that they can begin typing right away, rather than having to click into it every time.
How can this be achieved?
Here is my Jsfiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/mlynn/jyrbepyz/3/

You're using var ul = $('.lister ul')
Go take a look where is your .lister and the child ul in your HTML
I mean you probably want to target the needed DROPDOWN UL anchors
using the right selector:
$(".navbar.cf li ul li").on("click", "a", function(e){
e.preventDefault();
input.focus();
});

How can I get li items to slide and/or fade into view on this jQuery list?

Okay, so I have an input textarea that when you hit enter on it, a list item with your word appears. When you hit X on the list item, it slides up out of view (I was able to figure that out).
But I can't figure out how to make the list items slide down into view when you hit enter -- instead, they just appear really suddenly, which I think looks bad.
How do I make the list items gracefully slide into view when you hit enter?

Thank you.

Instead of appending the li by calling append on th ul:
ul.append('<li>' + CategoryIcon + " " + inputVal + 'X</li>');
You can select this new li to a jQuery object, hide it, append to the ul and then call slideToggle:
$('<li>' + CategoryIcon + " " + inputVal + 'X</li>').hide().appendTo(ul).slideToggle(1000);

when you add bootstrap with jQuery Mobile it will create some conflict, It may disturb your css or some jquery event, so you are recommended to use just custom feature when you use jQuery Mobile in your template,
http://jquerymobile.com/download-builder/
you can create your custom jQuery mobile file, and check only those feature you want in your mobile.
Many Thanks

/* --------- End of Menu --------- */
EDIT1: I included the script and stylesheet.
EDIT2: Please look at the picture. It should clarify the issue.

The problem is in this line:
$active = $links.first().addClass('active');
It takes the first link in your menu and makes it active. Your first <a> tag in the ul with class menu is not the first menu item, but:
<a class="pressed" href="#menu1" style="height:40px;line-height:40px;"><span><img src="menu_files/css3menu1/db.png"/>MENU1</span></a>
So you need to make sure you target the first menu item. You can for example assign an id to it:
<li>SUBMENU11</li>
and then you have to rewrite that line of javascript to:
$active = $('#submenu-default').addClass('active');
That should do the trick. Obviously you can use any other way to locate that link.
EDIT: Maybe even better solution would be to rewrite your html as follows:
<ul id="css3menu1">
<li class="topfirst"><a class="pressed" href="#menu1" style="height:40px;line-height:40px;"><span><img src="menu_files/css3menu1/db.png"/>MENU1</span></a>
<ul class="menu">
<li>SUBMENU11</li>
<li>SUBMENU12</li>
<li>SUBMENU13</li>
<li>SUBMENU14</li>
</ul></li>
<li class="menu"><img src="menu_files/css3menu1/schedule.png"/>MENU2</li>
<li class="menu"><img src="menu_files/css3menu1/analysis.png"/>MENU3</li>
<li class="toplast"><img src="menu_files/css3menu1/gps.png"/>MENU4</li>
</ul>
This way you don't have to change the javascript, as the first link in the menu now indeed is the first item of the menu. I leave it for you to find out what works best for you.

I guess you want something like this: http://www.cssmenus.co.uk/dropdown.html
If you show an example or drawing we could help you even better.
