Question

I’m doing a jQuery Mobile / Rails app and I made it app-capable for iOS. The thing is, mobile apps for iOS don’t support external link, all the link with data-ajax="false" as exemple.

So I use this little JS trick

if ( ("standalone" in window.navigator) && window.navigator.standalone ) {
  $("a[data-ajax*=false]").live('click', function(){
    window.location.href=this.href;
    return false;
  });
}

It was working well since I update both jQuery and jQuery Mobile… Since that, nothing append when I click the links…

Any idea ?

Meh… Ok, I found the problem… It would seems that the last version of jQuery Mobile (1.1.0 RC1) has event on the link that modify them on the click… It made the href taking # as value…

I couldn’t find how to stop it, so, I made a data-href attribute with the adress on the links and modify a bit my code

if ( ("standalone" in window.navigator) && window.navigator.standalone ) {
  $("a[data-ajax=false]").live('click', function(e){
    window.location.href=this.getAttribute('data-href');
    return false;
  });
}
