Question

I posted a question earlier about why django redirect was not working correctly, but quickly remove it because I discovered the when I took jquery mobile out of the equation, django is working fine.

I have a form which I am submiting and varifying in django in the usual manner. This is working fine. The problem comes when after the form is submited I want to redirect to a different url.

When I do this without jquery mobile, I simply user:

response("myurl")

which works fine, but When I use jquery mobile I am redirected to the correct page, but the browser url does not change.

This causes all manner of problems because I am using variables in my django url regex, and without the correct url nothing works correctly.

Has anyone else had a similar problem when using jquery mobile and django together? If so what did you do about it? Failing that, can anyone shed any light on why this is happening?

After a lot of goggling I ended up back at a question on stackoverflow which I had not spotted as it was only tagged as a jquery question and did not mention django in the title either.

This suggests specifying data-url to set the url.

In my websites base template file I setup the data-url with a code block marker like this:

        <div id="page" name="page" data-role="page" data-url="{% block data-url %}/root/{% endblock %}" class="type-interior">

then in the individual page templates I am then able to set to specify the url like this:

        {% block data-url %}/root/myurl/{% endblock %}"> 

I am not sure if this is the optimal solution as of course this means that I have to include the data-url block in every template, but it does work
