Clicking on the back button gives error "Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #:back"

[Sneha]

We have implemented the back button on our header for a phone gap app.

Clicking on the back button intermittently gives this error "Uncaught Error: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: #:back"

If I type this $("body").data().kendoMobilePane.navigate("#:back"); in the console window it works perfectly, this error comes from jquery.

 

Please help, can't figure this out as it's intermittent.

Here's the back button in the layout

<a data-role="backbutton" class="icon-button"><i class="fa fa-angle-left"></i></a>
​

Thanks!

Hello Sneha,

 

which Kendo UI version do you use? This sounds like a problem we introduced in Q1 SP, which was fixed shortly afterwards.

Hello Sneha,

 

please upgrade your project to a more recent version - your current one is affected by the problem you experience.
