Question

I’m using Jquery Mobile to create a mobile app in combination with phonegap. Now I had this login dialog which I originally set as a dialog (instead of a page). However, I needed to be able to control the functionality of the close button, so I changed it into a page, where i created my own close button.

Now I have a problem of the page being added to the browser history. The problem her is when using this app on Android, hitting back opens/closes the login dialog x number of times, before closing the app… What it really should do is just close the application.

Any idea how I can make this “login dialog” page not be added to the browser history?

From the jQuery Mobile documentation:

//transition to the "confirm" page with a "pop" transition without tracking it in history           
$.mobile.changePage( "../alerts/confirm.html", {
  transition: "pop",
  reverse: false,
  changeHash: false
});
