jQuery Mobile showing doubled button


I'm trying my first app with jQM+PhoneGap.

Here's the code:

    <script type="text/javascript">

    </script>
    <title>Hello World</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="app" data-role="page">

      <div data-role="content">
        <a onClick="$(this).toggleClass('toggleOffButton');" data-role="button" class="toggleOnButton" id='toggleButton' data-corners="true" data-mini="false" data-theme="a" tabIndex="2"/>
      </div>
      <!-- /content -->

      <div data-role="footer">
        Footer
      </div>

    </div>
    <!-- /page -->
  </body>
</html>

As you can see it is a really simple page.

The problem is that it outputs a double button instead of just one and it's driving me mad.

Replacing the

<a onClick="$(this).toggleClass('toggleOffButton');" data-role="button" class="toggleOnButton" id='toggleButton' data-corners="true" data-mini="false" data-theme="a" tabIndex="2"/>

with a string makes it print the string just one time as intended but the button is repeated twice.

Any ideas on what can be the problem?

I was reading something about including twice jQM scripts but, as you can see in the code, they're not double referenced!


Solution

  • I have tested your HTML and found your problem.

    jQuery Mobile button created from an a tag element MUST be closed. Basically change this:

    <a onClick="$(this).toggleClass('toggleOffButton');" data-role="button" class="toggleOnButton" id='toggleButton' data-corners="true" data-mini="false" data-theme="a" tabIndex="2"/>
    

    to this:

    <a onClick="$(this).toggleClass('toggleOffButton');" data-role="button" class="toggleOnButton" id='toggleButton' data-corners="true" data-mini="false" data-theme="a" tabIndex="2"/></a>       
    

    Also give it some text.

    And like Omar told you in comments you don't need:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.mobile-1.3.1.min.css" />
    

    if you have these to files:

    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.mobile.structure-1.3.1.min.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/jquery.mobile.theme-1.3.1.min.css" />
