Going back in jquery mobile will trigger a $.mobile.changePage()
with the location.hash
as explained in the jquery mobile docs.
I wan't to be able to do a history.go(-N)
without anything happening except the history of the browser being shortened by the last N elements.
So I wish to avoid the animation of $.mobile.changePage()
that will hide and show a different page.
Is it possible ?, and how can I achieve this ?
This what I did, but I'm not happy at all with it. But it does the trick.
$.mobile.hashListeningEnabled = false;
history.go(-history_steps);
...
setTimeout(function() {
$.mobile.hashListeningEnabled = true;
}, 300);
The timeout is here to try to re-enable the normal behavior after the real hashchange
event is triggered.
I would be really happy if someone could have a better solution.
There is "rel=external" function in jQueryMobile and it won't trigger the animation.
