I'm working on a jquery mobile hybrid app. as I have a fixed skeleton of the app, all I do is loading the content of each page on the <div data-role="content"> of the index file preserving the header / footer / sidebar etc...
$("#pageContent").load ("pages/login-view.html", function () {
$(this).enhanceWithin();
});
Everything's working just fine.
But what's blocking me right now, is managing the back action when clicking on a left arrow in the header.
Since I'm not reloading the whole page and I'm loading only the content on pages inside my main page, I have no Idea how to create or use the Backstack of loaded pages contents.
Do you hve any idea about how to do this ?
Thank you.

If I have a more than one pages, all using the same layout page, is there a way I can navigate between the pages and only refresh the body part of the layout page. For example if I have a list page and select an item to go to the detail page and they both contain the same layout view, I don't want the layout which contains the menu and footer to reload, just the #RenderBody() should reload.
I am building this in Mvc 3.
I am a beginner to Mvc so help we with some examples.
Thanks.
Call the pages in ajax and replace the content of your html body

I'm trying to build a web app (HTML/Bootstrap/jquery) which has header,footer,leftnav and right pane. The content of the right pane would be a separate html page which will be loaded based on what is clicked in the left nav.
I got individual pages with HTML for header/footer/leftnav replicated for each content page. But I only would like to have the right pane content to be loaded without reloading the other components.
Heres an example, upon click on left nav item.. only the content of the right pane changes:

Appreciate any help, thanks!
You could use the ".load()" function of jquery.
$('selector-of-the-panel').load('url');
jQuery .load() docs
The example you included looks pretty close to jQuery UI's .tabs() widget, which you can use with ajax to load your different html pages: http://jqueryui.com/tabs/#ajax For a vertical nav-like look, see: http://jqueryui.com/tabs/#vertical
I'm creating a mobile app using jquery mobile and cordova. I've successfully loaded a dynamic listview from a json ajax call. My issue is that when I navigate to another page, then press the back button, the original page's listview does not load and there is nothing where it should be. If I refresh the page, the listview appears. Rather than refresh the whole page every time I navigate to this page, how would I refresh just the listview?
I've tried refreshing the listview both when the DOM and the window have loaded, and before both, and using $(document).on("pagebeforeshow", "#pagenamehere", function() {}); to no avail.
To be more specific, I have two pages with listviews. The navigational steps go as follows:
1. load page 1: listview shows
2. navigate to page 2: its listview does not show
3. press back: page 1 listview shows
4. navigate to page 2: its listview still does not show
5. refresh page 2: its listview DOES show
6. press back: page 1's listview does NOT show
This process should make it clear that the listview only loads when the url is directly input or reloaded; for some reason navigation between pages (different html files) breaks this.
If you have script inside the head tag of the second page and this page is loaded through Ajax, then the script won't execute.
Try to move your script from the head tag inside the second page's div (<div data-role="page" id="mySecondPage">) or create a JS file and load it on the first page's load. Relevant example here
jQuery Mobile uses Ajax to perform pages transitions so during the transition jQuery Mobile will only inject the contents of the response's body element (or more specifically the data-role="page" element). Nothing in the head of the page will be used (except the page title).
In conclusion, any scripts and styles referenced in the head of a page won't have any effect when a page is loaded via Ajax. They will execute if the page is requested via HTTP and that's why your listview is loaded after a full page refresh.
Most of the example sites (like below) that JQM link to use a common navigation system, I'll use this site as an example:
http://www.takemefishing.org/mobile/
When linking to another page that isn't already in the DOM, they use the ajax navigation for example, on the homepage they link to 'Fish Species' with a href of
#/mobile/fish-species.
On click, this actually loads the page into the DOM via ajax from /mobile/fish-species which only contains the <div data-role="page" id="fish-species">... content here ...</div>
Then the address bar is updated to /mobile/#/mobile/fish-species.
If you go directly to /mobile/#/mobile/fish-species (e.g. by using the refresh button or a direct link), it loads the homepage with all the CSS, JS etc etc, and then via ajax loads /mobile/fish-species into the DOM seemlessly.
This structure/system seems to be the common method used on JQM sites, for example Walt Disney and Standford University.
My question is how are they making this magic happen? I suspect JQM is doing almost all of the work, and there is just some config option or flag that I am missing.
Here's what I've tried
I have a basic JQM homepage /mobile/index.html with the DOCTPYE, <head> section with CSS, JS etc etc included, and a link to another page page2.html:
<li>Page 2</li>
Page 2 is similar to the 'Fish Species' page whereby it just containts the:
<div data-role="page" id="page2.html">... content here ...</div>
Now, when I click the link on the homepage, page2.html is loaded into the DOM via ajax and shown. The problem is the addressbar shows:
/mobile/page2.html
If I then click the browsers refresh button, or navigate directly to /mobile/page2.html, of course the browser just loads page2.html containing only the page <div> and no head section or CSS/JS included.
What am I missing to get the link to show #/mobile/page2.html in the address bar when loaded, and then if refreshed I want to load the homepage then pull page2 in via ajax, just like the example sites do?
I am using the latest JQM at http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.2.0/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js
Jquery Mobile will interpret navigation to the address #address as navigation to the page named address
This means that you can define in your single index.html two pages, for instance
<div data-role="page" id="index.html">link to JQM page2</div>
<div data-role="page" id="page2.html">... content here ...</div>
Clicking on the link in the first page will load the content of the second page and update the location displayed in your browser's address bar accordingly.
This is the standard JQM approach, used for instance in the stanford website you linked to.
The Disney and Fish websites look like they are doing things slightly differently as they apparently dynamically generate the target page by binding to the pagechange event, analyzing the target address and acting accordingly. You can see more details on dynamically generating pages in the jquery mobile docs.
I have developed an App using PhoneGap and JqueryMobile.
I have many HTML Pages , navigation from One page to other page on click of the image is taking lot of time.And the end user have no clue what is happening at the back end.
I would like to show loading image until the page gets loaded.
I'm wondering how could I use Jquery to show a simple "Loading..." on the screen until page is loaded.
Please help me on this.
With jquerymobile you can do this with $.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg() resp. $.mobile.hidePageLoadingMsg() as described in the documentation.
