Passing parameters to a page-id in jQuery Mobile

Question

I\'m trying to pass some parameters to a page-id made in jQuery Mobile.

The site is composed of list-views with links, each of them has the hash coded in it, like th

Answer 1

Yes, parameters on the hash are not supported by default. I've been using the following plugin to give me that, and it's been working pretty good so far ;-)

jqm.page.params

UPDATE - HOW TO USE:

I've added the following code after including jqm.page.params.js:

$(document).bind("pagebeforechange", function( event, data ) {
    $.mobile.pageData = (data && data.options && data.options.pageData)
        ? data.options.pageData
        : null;
});

So for example, a page getting called like: index.html#search?id=mysearchkeyword Can now access this information in ANY page event I feel like:

$(document).on("pagebeforeshow", "#firstpage", function(e, data){ 
        if ($.mobile.pageData && $.mobile.pageData.id){
            console.log("Parameter id=" + $.mobile.pageData.id);
        }
 });

Would print "mysearchkeyword" to your logging console.

Hope this helps!

Editors Note: The author had this as second code block. In Jquery 1.9, live is removed so i updated his sample above with a .on syntax instead. Here is the original:

$("#firstpage").live("pagebeforeshow", function(e, data){
    if ($.mobile.pageData && $.mobile.pageData.id){
        console.log("Parameter id=" + $.mobile.pageData.id);
    }
});
