How to get Anchor Links to work in Jquery Mobile?

Question

Jquery Mobile has decided to treat anchor links as page requests of sort. However, this isn\'t good if you have a load of blog posts which have anchor links to the same page

Answer 1

// On page load on mobiles only, look for the specific a tag you want to take control over,
// alternatively you can still target all 'a' tags
        $('a[href*="#component"]').each(function () {
            // then set data-ajax to false, 
            $(this).attr("data-ajax", false);
            // at this point you can add the class to your target a tags. 
            // You can do it elsewhere but because for this example my 
            // 'a' tags are automatically generated so I just add the class here
            $(this).addClass('in-pagelink');
            // then target the class and bind to a click event 
            $('a.in-pagelink').bind('click', function (ev) {
                // here I redirect the page with window.location.assign
                // as opposed to window.location.href. I find that it works better
                window.location.assign(this.href);
                // then I close my navigation menu
                closeAll();
            });

        });
