Question

I have an application which includes a series of forms, each on their own page.

I do not want some of these pages to be added to the history stack. So that when the user presses back, it skips them.

Jquery-mobile does this with dialogs. You can configure this to happen with ALL pages (or any other data-role) but not with just some pages.

Does anyone know how to do this? Alternatively, would it be possible to create a new data-role that extends “page”. If that was possible, then I could disable history for all of those pages.

Answer 1

in this case, you can call $.mobile.changePage() by yourself:

$.mobile.changePage( "url", {
changeHash: false //do not track it in history
});
