jQuery Forum

As we have started to develop a PhoneGap app using jQueryMobile we have discovered some problems on Windows Phone 7:

1. Navigation: We are using the multipage implementation (http://code.jquery.com/mobile/latest/demos/docs/pages/multipage-template.html).
   
   This implementation works well in iOS (tested with iPhone and iPad) and also in Android. With WP7 it just does not work. There is just a freezed “loading” spinner.It seems this problem is depending on the AJAX-navigation used by jQueryMobile. If you create a separate html file for each page and disable/do not use AJAX-navigation it is working.
   
   
2. For any reason, there is always a small white bar in the bottom of the screen (see attachment “WP7_footer_white_bar_bug.png”). We are using a jQueryMobile footer (data-position="fixed") and a header on each page. This also works on iOS and Andriod without any problems or “white bar”.
   
   
3. Backbutton: In Android the hardware back button is supported out of the box, in WP7 you have to do implement the handling yourself. This means that special code just for WP7 is needed. I think the handling should be part of jQueryMobile.
