Today I discovered that in jQueryMobile’s listview, to link to a page in the same directory with the mobile style applied, you must use ./xxxx.html instead of xxxx.html. Otherwise, the target page’s data-role="header" and other content get ignored (meaning that although it’s loaded asynchronously and has a transition, it becomes an HTML page without mobile styling). What a waste of time…
Now with the alpha version, there’s still a long way to go in terms of platform compatibility.
