In my jQuery mobile (v 1.2) web site, I have several separate pages (i.e. each page has one header, content and footer). The problem is I can’t link the pages. The following line is not working.
<a href="anotherpage.html">Another Page</a> shows “Error loading page”.
If I add rel="external" to the <a> element, it works. However, it turns off the automatic loading via Ajax. But I want to use the Ajax loading as well as keep the pages separate. Just wondering whether it’s possible.
Code Page 1
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Single page template</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.2.0/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css" />
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.2.0/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js"> </script>
</head>
<body>
<div data-role="page">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>Page 1</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<a href="b.html"> click me</a>
</div>
<div data-role="footer">
<h4>Footer content</h4>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

The problem is that you are trying to load your pages from the filesystem.
Chrome settings prevents that, assuming that a security risk.
Serve your pages with a web server. You can use IIS on Windows XP Pro for that.
or
You can start chrome with
--allow-file-access-from-filecommand line option
