Alexandre,
I may be a little confused but I think I understand your request, and
it is certainly an interesting and useful one.
What I believe you want is to have a page that looks like;
<ul>
<li><a href="page1.html"></li>
<li><a href="page2.html"></li>
<li><a href="page3.html"></li>
</ul>
<div id="window">Please wait...</div>
Then clicking each link will display the content of the href inside
window -- for instance clicking page2.html will will load page2.html
into window, and then display it?
I currently don't support this... but think it may be helpful! :)
Perhaps this syntax would make the most sense;
<script>
$('#window').jqm({
ajax: '@trigger:href'
trigger: 'li.a'
});
</script>
the ajax: '@trigger:href' means to load the ajax URL from the trigger's
HREF attribute. This could be substituted for any attribute, like name. e.g.
<li><a href="#" name="page1.html"></li>
<script>
$('#window').jqm({
ajax: '@trigger:name'
trigger: 'li.a'
});
</script>
Maybe this should be shortened? e.g.
$('#window').jqm({
ajax: '@name'
trigger: 'li.a'
});
Another approach would be to allow a function to be passed as the ajax
paramater (which I had before.. but ruled out as this can be
accomplished via the on display callback) -- although the "trigger" is
not passed to the callback.
Anyway... as you can see, things are still up in the air. I'd like to
think this through before finalizing things. Perhaps you have a
suggestion on how things should be done? I've forwarded this to the jQ
list to ask for insight from the community. Plugin page;
