I've noticed a new problem with v1.01 though and the toolbars at the bottom of the screen. The toolbar is of the form:

If I quit the mobile browser and start from scratch, the toolbar is there. But oftentimes if I go to the home screen and then go back via the icon the toolbar will not appear.

Also, sometimes on pages with lists the toolbar will not appear, or will appear at the bottom of the content (like with v1.1).

Any ideas of how to keep the toolbar present? This isn't like it was where I would accidentally touch the header and toggle on/off the toolbar. What was that setting again? Maybe I need to let that happen again to force the toolbar on?

Thanks for any help or ideas.

Right now I have a list and if an item is chosen I have a back button in the header of the selected item with a reverse transition back to the list.

That works fine, except the back button takes me back to the beginning of the list, and I would really like to go back to where I was in the list.

The mobile Safari back button, which is exposed in the UI since I'm not using "full screen" does this. Is there a way to have the JQM back button work just like the mobile Safari back button?

Or should I use anchor tags in my back button to get back to where I was? I somehow had in in the back of my mind that using anchor tags confuses things in JQM and makes it act like a multi-page page or something like that.

What do you think?

(1) I want to be able to check a cookie to see if the user is logged in or not and display content depending on their state;

(2) I want the user to be able to be able to save the landing page as an icon to their home screen.

I could keep the landing back dynamic by immediately redirecting or changing window.location, etc., with random parameter in the URL. That would prevent caching. But then that page, with that URL would not be a good candidate for bookmarking or saving to the home screen.

And no-cache does not work for the landing page, apparently by design.

Any thoughts of how I can deal with this? Basically I have the case where sometimes a person returns via the home screen icon and they first think they are not logged in when they are, or the opposite.

<div data-role="footer" data-theme="a" data-id="maintoolbar" data-position="fixed">

is acting flaky on Android 2.3.3. Sometimes the toolbar will float, fade and re-appear. But oftentimes the toolbar will not re-appear at the bottom of the screen. Instead it gets fixed to the bottom of the content, and you have to scroll down to find it.

Changing to v1.1 is not an option, because there the fixed toolbar behavior is even worse for Android 2.3.3 - the footer toolbar stays fixed all the way below the content and you never see it unless you scroll all the way to the bottom.

I wonder if anybody has any thoughts on this.

Any suggestion for an alternate nice looking UI for three items in one line? I'm already using a navbar in the footer, so not sure how good that might look. Maybe it might look ok if it wasn't the full width of the screen. Hmmm...

Any thoughts appreciated.
