I have followed this really good tutorial here

http://www.appliness.com/getting-started-with-html-mobile-application-development-using-jquery-mobile-requirejs-and-backbonejs/#codesyntax_9

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.
