        <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.
