Controlling if links/buttons use ajax or just goes to the page.

[Michael]

Hi,

So I've just started using the UI, but I've used the Jquery mobile one before.  Features I liked that I can't find is:

Go to an another page.  
     Page 1 url: /home
     Page 2 url: /search

and NOT
    url: /#/search

I don't want the ajax calls to happen.  I like them don't get me wrong but the next page does it's own stuff.  

can you add the feature of "data-ajax=false" or "rel=external".  Something so we can move to the next page and not load within.

Thanks

Hello,

Actually, the feature you request is already present, but we forgot to document it. 

data-rel="external"

should do the trick.

Well that did nothing.  You would click on the tab icon and nothing would happen.  

<div data-role="tabstrip">

    <a href="#home" data-icon="home">Home</a>

    @Html.ActionLink("About", "About", null, new { data_icon = "about" })

    @Html.ActionLink("Search", "Search", null, new { data_icon = "search", data_rel="external" })

    @Html.ActionLink("Contact", "Contact",null, new { data_icon="contacts"})

</div>

Hello,

Due to a bug on our side, the data-rel attribute I have described does not work in the beta release with the tabstrip widget (buttons and list view items work).

A workaround I may suggest is to handle the tabstrip select event and navigate there. You can see an attached example. 

All the best,

Hello,

I have a CMS application that is using the data-rel attribute to link to external pages within the cms (the application hangs up if I do it the other way).

The only issue I have is when I try to launch my app from the home screen on my iPhone, it displays full screen at first, then as soon as I click another link, it jumps over to safari, then displays the bottom bar with the forward/back buttons etc.

I have this setup on http://www.themodmedia.com currently.

Is there any way around this?

Thanks in advance, 
Ronnie
