Question

I’m using phonegap and jquery mobile to build an app.
Until now the “all pages in one html file” was being used, but the project is going to be really big and will be bad to have all in one file.
All the pages are in the file index.html
Only one called mentions in mentions.html.

When going from the page “dashboard” from index.html to “mentions” on mentions.html is ok, the transiction go well.
But when the back button is clickd, it goes to the dashboard page with No transiction .

here’s my button:

 <a href="#dashboard" data-role="button" id="mentions-back-button" class="">Dashboard</a>

Answer 1

Use jQuery Mobile’s back button link.

<a href="#" data-rel="back" data-role="button" id="mentions-back-button" class="">Dashboard</a>

“Back” button links If you use the attribute data-rel=”back” on an
anchor, any clicks on that anchor will mimic the back button, going
back one history entry and ignoring the anchor’s default href. This is
particularly useful when generating “back” buttons with JavaScript,
such as a button to close a dialog. When using this feature in your
source markup, although browsers that support this feature will not
use the specified href attribute, be sure to still provide a
meaningful value that actually points to the URL of the referring page
to allow the feature to work for users in C-Grade browsers. If users
can reach this page from more than one referring pages, specify a
sensible href so that the navigation remains logical for all users.
Also, please keep in mind that if you just want a reverse transition
without actually going back in history, you should use the
data-direction=”reverse” attribute instead. Note:
data-direction=”reverse” is meant to simply run the backwards version
of the transition that will run on that page change, while
data-rel=”back” makes the link functionally equivalent to the
browser’s back button and all the standard back button logic applies.
Adding data-direction=”reverse” to a link with data-rel=”back” will
not reverse the reversed page transition and produce the “normal”
version of the transition.
