Disable all jQ Mobile default behaviour so it is only actively called upon...?

Disable all jQ Mobile default behaviour so it is only actively called upon...?

I assumed just including the js file would only make it available for use when called. But I am getting additional behaviour just from having jQ linked to.

The most obvious is that when navigating to a new page from a link I get "Loading..." messages and the new page content is appended to the current page.
