jQuery Mobile disable enhancement on certain tags?

Answer 1

There are few ways of disabling markup enhancement in jQuery Mobile but in your case there's only one single line solution:

$(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#index', function(){       
   $('a').removeClass('ui-link');
});

Other solutions can be found in my other ARTICLE, to be transparent it is my personal blog. Or find it HERE. Search for the chapter called: Methods of markup enhancement prevention.

There you will find a answer how to disable it on a selector level, unfortunately it only works on native form elements and a tag is not a native form element:

$(document).bind('mobileinit',function(){
     $.mobile.page.prototype.options.keepNative = "select, input";
});
