I have followed this really good tutorial here
Which is a starter point for jQuery Mobile and Backbone.
I understand that due to backbone and jQuery-Mobile both having built in routing services that jQuery-Mobile has theirs switched off.
One of the main reasons why I wanted to use such a package (as well as the UI styling) was for the page transitions (i.e pop or flip) but when I added these in to the index page of the attached example they did nothing (I am guessing that is due to the fact that something is disabled).
Does anyone know a way round this and if my diagnostic correct?
Thanks
I’m not sure where you saw that jQuery-mobile has it’s “routing” switched off, but it is true that both jQuery-mobile and Backbone.js work with the hash tag, and there are some issues with using both at the same time.
What you might want to look at is the jQuery-mobile-router plugin which was made specifically for this purpose (that is using jQuery-mobile together with backbone.js), in addition it has support for the jQuery-mobile page events.
You might also want to take a look at the following SO posts that are related to using backbone.js and jQuery-mobile together.
