jqm-data-cache-never.js

// force certain pages to be refreshed every time.  mark such pages with
// 'data-cache="never"'
//
    jQuery('div').live('pagehide', function(event, ui){
      var page = jQuery(event.target);

      if(page.attr('data-cache') == 'never'){
        page.remove();
      };
    });

// for pages marked with 'data-cache="never"' manually add a back button since
// JQM doesn't.  this is *okay* because we know the browswer history stack is
// intact and goes to the correct 'back' location.
// specified back button - however!
//
    jQuery('div').live('pagebeforecreate', function(event, ui){
      var page = jQuery(event.target);

      if(page.attr('data-cache') == 'never'){
        var header = page.find('[data-role="header"]');

        if(header.jqmData( "backbtn" ) !== false && header.find('[data-rel="back"]').size() == 0){
          var back = jQuery('<a href="#" data-icon="back" data-rel="back">Back</a>');
          header.prepend(back);
        };
      };
    });

Well, there is a new attribute called "data-dom-cache" which can be true or false. You can use it on pages, dialogs and links. this could be what ur looking for. see the docs:http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.1.0/docs/api/data-attributes.html .
Once i've suggested to use cache-control properties from the http response header which i think is much more smart but the developers rejected. Let me please know if data-dom-cache is working for you.

Thanks,

I finally got it working and it was a different approach, maybe because I am actually submitting a form (with a button, not link). The page attribute does not work.

I got it working by including the data-ajax="false" into the

tag... May not be the best approach, but it is what I need now (specially under development).

Cheers,

Howdy hiroprotagonist,

I've tried adding data-dom-cache and it's not working...jQM 1.2...any ideas?

I've tried adding data-dom-cache to the page I wish to cache....is the following example correct usage?

Much Thanks!

EX.

    <div data-role="header" data-theme="a">
        <h1>Search</h1>
        <a href="../" data-icon="home" data-iconpos="notext" data-direction="reverse">Home</a>
    </div>



<div data-role="content">   ...

I have javascript functions that just run when the page loads, if I run "jqm-data-cache-never" it will remove that orignal page and all the javascript functions that can run, I tried putting the js functions in different on() calls that jQM offers but never seen a result that works,

Any ideas?
