Question

Link with data-rel=”back” causes two (double) back transitions instead of a single. The issue seems to be Android related – demonstrated in 2.2 and 2.3.

page 1 -> page 2 -> page 3

If the user clicks the back link on page 3 the following will happen:
back link -> (page 2 temp) -> page 1

Attempted to disable pushStateEnabled without success

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>
<script>
$( window ).bind( 'mobileinit', function(){
    $.mobile.pushStateEnabled = false;
});
</script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.0/jquery.mobile-1.1.0.min.js"></script>

Also attempted and double back persists

<a href="/" onclick="history.back(-1)" >Back</a>

Any suggestions/update to deliver expected back functionality?

Answer 1

As long as your anchor tags are correct I don’t see why $.mobile.pushStateEnabled = false; does not work.

Maybe using ‘document’ as your selector instead of ‘window’ will do the trick.

Did you try?

<script>
$( document ).bind( 'mobileinit', function(){
    $.mobile.pushStateEnabled = false;
});
</script>
