meta http-equiv="refresh" not working with JQM

in Getting Started • 6 years ago

hi all,

Currently I am using JQM on a multi page site

submit button on page 1 that goes to page 2 has : rel="external"

and works well

however on page 2 I have database processing at the top - then this header that goes to page 3

Without JQM page 1 goes to page 2 then auto goes to page 3

WITH JQM - it STOPS on page 2 and doesn't see the refresh I guess....

Q: Is there a way to get this to process to get to page 3?

JQM ignores everything in the <head> of subsequent pages.

Why not have page2 respond with the content of page3.php? One less trip to the server!

Or since it is PHP, just include page3.php in page2.php.

still a newbie I guess...

Thanks Jake for the help.

ok this makes sense....

JQM ignores everything in the <head> of subsequent pages.

Q: If I want to - is there any way to override this behavior and force it to not ignore the <head> of subsequent pages if I need to ?

Your other suggestions are good ones - I will try them soon!

One problem I am having is I am using older - gen_validatorv4.js

(is it still the best option?)

and this (see below...) is in the header of several form pages ( and more)

What seems to be happening is that this validator seems to work ok on page1.php but creates problems on page2.php not loading correctly or maybe not processing the next form properly.

without query mobile it works ok but messes up with it..

Q: Is there a way to get this to work?

THANKS AGAIN

DAVE

I guess gen_validatorv4.js is as good as any, If it works.

If you can’t fix the PHP, I guess you can put a <script> in the <body> that says

location.href = " page3.php"

JΛ̊KE

What’s with that XML header? it’s not close to XML!

This is just a completely wrong approach for JQuery Mobile!

First off, if you need to use rel="extrernal", I would start to question the utility of jQuery Mobile altogether.

jQuery Mobile loads a document the first time the user visits. It normally doesn't re-load the document, or load another document again. Instead, it loads "pages" into the same document using Ajax.

If you want to re-load the page, or load a different page, you should use jQuery Mobile functions meant for that. e.g. you would probably want to use the pagecontainer widget change() function:

http://api.jquerymobile.com/pagecontainer/

If you want to refresh some content within a page, you should use $.ajax() to fetch the content, and then use jQuery functions to update some content on your page with the data that you retrieve.

jQuery Mobile is a framework. You can't just ignore that it is a framework, and that it draws some lines within which you may color. You have to color within the boundaries, or it will slap you on the wrist! ;)
