jQuery Forum

here are my observations, don't know if i did everything right:

- you can't pass parameters to internal pages. <a href="#mypage?param=bla">mypage</a> doesn't work

- if you link from a page to a page with multiple internal pages, you have to use rel="external". this means: no transition effects. 

Using ID's is an incredibly common PHP and programming technique in general. I have a hard time believing there's no way to do it.

Did you look into using the transition effect without using Jquery's Mobile CSS?

Basically, I think the query format is technically supposed to be:

I got this pretty close to working but I ended up with either the history/back button not working properly, or losing the ajax-ness, which defeats the purpose.

Basically, JQM isn't expecting a param in the string, so it just strips it out.  I fixed that, got it to load the page and show it, but what I couldn't quite get working is to get JQM to leave the URL alone.   In the example above, the URL ends up stripped of the search query.

I really hope we're missing something here, because this is pretty much a show stopper if I can't build applications that pass state between pages in a clean way.  

My hope is that someone who knows the code better knows of a simpler way to make this behave properly - the main problems seem to occur in loadPage and changePage.
