Try adding return false; inside your live event


Just a question though.. what are you adding a tap event inside the page show and using .live and .on?

.live is deprecated and replaced with .on so really you should have something like

$(document).on('pagebeforshow',function(e){
      $(document).on('tap','#weekf',function(){
alert('taparoo')
return false;
});
}

I think adding the return false; should help but also I don't understand putting it inside the pageshow you could just have your tap event in your JS unless you are using somthing special with the pagebeforeshow in your function it does not make much sense to put it in there.

Thx for the "return false" help. That made it work perfect!

As for your question on why i have it in a deprecated event? Well, the short and sweet answer is: I don´t know. I´m about to go on a rant on how bad i think this projects documentation is.

I really have no clue on what is the best practice for where to put your code. And every time i ask on this forum or on other forums i get a different answer. That is in my view because of the lack of good updated docs.

Without the help from this forum i wouldn´t be doing anything correct. I am really confused about where to put my JS code and what events to use and what to bind them to. And this makes me more frustrated then anything. I really really wish that the mobile JQuery docs would supply some FULL examples. Not code snipets here and there. That would help ALOT for a newbee like me. That would help me to understand why code must be placed in the header or on the bottom of the page. Right now...have no clue.
