forcing fresh content

forcing fresh content

i've scoured the forum and the code looking for a way to for jq mobile to implement something like this


<div data-role='page' data-fetch='always'>


the goal is to have certain views always hit the server for new content.  also, i want to preserve the history stack and transitions.  this is obviously possible since the 1st fetch of a page exhibits all these properties, but every solution (removing the page on hide, forcing a reload on show, and rel=external) lose one or more of the desired behaviors.

it seems like marking a page as always needing to be refreshed is a common desire that should be supported by the toolkit.

is there a hack to make it work now?

is there a non-hack to make it work now?

would a patch to support it be considered?

kind regards.
