Question

Using jQueryMobile, I’ve included data-role="footer" data-position="fixed" in the markup, but two bugs persist:

• Footer toggles on a null click event.
• Footer isn’t fixed, and hides some of the page content.

I’m testing with iPhone 3g. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: It seems that the click event modifies the current page’s footer, and changes ui-fixed-overlay to ui-fixed-inline, which of course is styled display:none to prevent the other pages’ footers from appearing.

How can I prevent this modification?

If using 1.1 or later, add data-tap-toggle="false" to your header and footer, as documented here.

If you’re using a version of jQuery Mobile prior to 1.1, place the following before loading jQuery Mobile:

$(document).bind("mobileinit", function(){
  $.mobile.touchOverflowEnabled = true;
}); // remove
