Can't load file:// pages

[jblas]

When a JQM document is loaded via file:// protocol, links to local files fail to load.

This issue was reported initially as a PhoneGap problem by @plethllc in Issue 991, but it seems that ANY \ non-Mozilla browser also exhibits the problem even on the desktop.

Something changed recently because this used to work.

I just checked in a fix for the file:// problem:

I just verified that this fixes things on desktop and in phonegap.

I just pulled the update down, did a new make, and i'm still seeing the same infinite spinner. This thing is killing me.

What do you mean "pulled the update"?

[ghost]

I did a pull from github on my checkout of jqm, got the commit you made, and did a make to rebuild the jqm js file.

Am I using a term incorrectly? (I'm not all that experienced with git lingo)

The JQM js file in xcode now shows this section of code, which is your change right?

//set the generated BASE element's href attribute to a new page's base path reset: function() { base.element.attr( "href", initialPath ); }

I stuck my example in a public repo if it would help to see any of it.

I just tested phonegap in the Mac iPhone emulator and it works just fine.

Can you test by using remote URLs? I'm using the following in my packaged app:

<link rel="stylesheet"  href="http://jquerymobile.com/test/themes/default/" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jquerymobile.com/test/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://jquerymobile.com/test/js/"></script>

Just tested, still getting the spinner.

See the repo I made above, but basically, two pages. (the comment thing with github seems to be eating part of the div on the second page example, but you can look at the repo if it isn't clear)

index.html

```

Page Title

• Search By
• Username
• Email Address

```

and user.html

Search By User

Search By Username

Submit

So the problem seems to be the data-ajax="false" on your form in the page you are trying to load. I'm not exactly sure why that would affect the page currently loading, but I'm looking into it.

If you remove that attribute temporarily, you will see that the page switches just fine.

I can confirm this, although I don't understand it.

I just filed issue 1580:

Please move any follow up discussions there. The original issue reported in 1578 is fixed.
