You can view the slightly unusual, undocumented but not that unexpected "buttons in toolbar" navigation I created which can be seen in this application

http://putztzu.github.com/factcheck

The advantage of this over the official navbar button solution is that there is no "five button limit," takes up far less space and as you can see supports all the usual button stylings.

The problem is I've found that it isn't supported by current latest jquery mobile, I had to implement jquery mobile v.1.1. When I tried later versions of jquery mobile the buttons refused to display inline and instead stacked vertically full width, sometimes also not displaying stylings like color (theme).

For the reasons I listed, I favor regular buttons over the "new" navbar buttons, is there any known way to implement with later/current jquery mobile or is this a "feature" which is intentionally being deprecated?

What I describe can be tested yourself...
Just copy the index.html plus the custom stylesheet (or use your own custom themes)or fork my github repo and modify the index.html to point to another version of jquery mobile.

i must be overlooking something simple...i cannot seem to figure out how to add to the default themes without replacing them. quick adivce? thx.

Am looking at what is available for automatic translation of jQuery Mobile objects from a default language to the local language.

Have found the following:
jQuery UI - Distributes a number of jQuery objects pre-built into various languages. Not only is this limited to the specific supported jQuery (not necessarily jQuery Mobile) objects, it also seems to me rather cumbersome having to custom build objects for download.

jQuery Mobile (and other javascript) plugins - About a year ago there was a spate of interest and development, I've found at least 4 javascript implementations that  either carry the jQuery name or are javascript so should easily integrate with jQuery Mobile. Problem I've found is that although the app code was written I have not found any which include or dovetail easily into projects which can provide resource files... So a Dev guy would have to also build his language translations from scratch.

Jakarta taglibs - The largest and possibly most comprehensive public library of resource files is possibly the Jakarta Apache Project (https://attic.apache.org/projects/jakarta-taglibs.html), but with two problems... The library is specific to <only> Java, requires compiling in Java to even possibly view and explore the possibility of extracting the contents and... The SVN and project documentation links are dead so who knows what its current status is. It's possible to download libraries from before it became an Apache project, but still... what a headache exploring something which might not even work.

In general, I was expecting a library of resource files specific to jQuery Mobile, especially since many of its objects are just stylized links.

If a fully recommended and complete localization option does not exist, I guess I'd be willing to select one of the plugins and create a public repo for crowd-sourcing the necessary resource files (read - people willing to provide translations for a standard set of words jQuery Mobile objects use). I also have ideas for implementing the distribution and use of these resource files in a far more efficient manner than how jQuery UI now does it.

Looking for thoughts, comments and recommendations,

Hello,
After futzing around with this for several days and still not finding a solution, hoping someone can understand what is the problem here.

As the subject line describes, I'm linking from a multi-page template to a single page template, and the single page template is displaying XML data processed on the Server (RSS data). I don't <think> that I have any ID collisions, every ID should be unique across both pages.

I recommend you first have a look at what the last page should look at by accessing the page directly

http://3horn.us/jqueryforum/news.html

You'll notice that it renders properly with the typical jquerymobile layout (header and footer toolbars, data displaying in the "Content" section).

Now, let's access the multi-page template first
http://3horn.us/jqueryforum/district5.html

If you then click on the first button "Injected RSS" you'll see that there is an extremely long wait (about a minute or so) before the "news.html" page displays (which is exactly the page I recommended you look at first), and when it finally renders it renders without any formatting whatsoever (a bare XML file but with working hyperlinks).

Am stumped what is happening. Have tried disabling AJAX, and I don't think that there is any injection related problems... But maybe someone can correct me on any point.

TIA,
TS

If I understand the docs I've read,
