Question

In the initialize function of my backbone router I have

$(document).on('click', '.back', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    window.history.back();
});

and I define my back buttons like

<a data-rel="back" class="back">Back</a>

The thing is I would like to change the transition and the direction (reverse = true) when I go back, currently it uses the default one.

By the way backbone is in charge of creating pages and routing, I use JQ Mobile only for the UI (you can see how I change pages there: jQuery Mobile + backbone.js: navbar issue).

Thanks.

I ended up doing:

var self = this;
$(document).on('click', '.back', function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    self.back = true;
    window.history.back();
});

Then

$.mobile.changePage($(pView.el), {changeHash: false, transition: this.back ? 'slide' : transition, reverse: this.back});
this.back = false;
