A wrapper event for both hashchange and popstate The navigate event is a wrapper around both the hashchange and popstate events. In addition to providing a single event for all browsers it also provides a data object in both cases allowing for the unification of handlers. This feature is used by the $.mobile.navigate method to include directionality and URL information.

Types JavaScript provides several built-in datatypes. In addition to those, this page documents virtual types like Selectors, enhanced pseudo-types like Events and some concepts you need to know about Functions. If you want to study these concepts in depth, take a look at MDN. You should be able to try out most of the examples below by just copying them to your browser's JavaScript Console (Chrome, Safari with Develop menu activated, IE 8+) or Firebug console (Firefox). Whenever an example

Configuring Defaults Working with jQuery Mobile's Auto-initialization Unlike other jQuery projects, such as jQuery and jQuery UI, jQuery Mobile automatically applies many markup enhancements as soon as it loads (long before the document.ready event fires). These enhancements are applied based on jQuery Mobile's default settings, which are designed to work with common scenarios. If changes to the settings are needed, they are easy to configure.

Check to see if an object is a plain object (created using "{}" or "new Object"). Note: Host objects (or objects used by browser host environments to complete the execution environment of ECMAScript) have a number of inconsistencies which are difficult to robustly feature detect cross-platform. As a result of this, $.isPlainObject() may evaluate inconsistently across browsers in certain instances. An example of this is a test against document.location

Store arbitrary data associated with the specified element. Returns the value that was set. When working with jQuery Mobile, jqmData should be used in place of jQuery core's data method (note that this includes $.fn.data, $.fn.removeData, and the $.data, $.removeData, and $.hasData utilities), as they automatically incorporate getting and setting of namespaced data attributes (even if no namespace is currently in use).
