Question

It looks like jQuery mobile sets document.title to the text content of data-role="header", example:

<div data-position="fixed" data-role="header">
    <h1>This text</h1>
</div>

I have a hack workaround to prevent this as such:

$('div[data-role="page"]').bind('pageshow',function(){document.title = "My title"});

Is there a better/more semantic way to do this?

Answer 1

Another solution would be to copy the original document title to the data-title attribute of each page:

$(":jqmData(role='page')").attr("data-title", document.title);

The advantage of this approach over changing the title on pageshow is that it will prevent document title flicker during page transitions.
