New Version 2170 OSX Issues

[Alexander_F_]

Now I have to review all my code that works fine in the previous version, fx, when I try to close a popup before with only click in close button works and now doesn't work, here is the code.

<pre>

                            <a href="#edit_business_email" data-rel="popup" data-theme="a" data-transition="pop" data-position-to="origin" style="color:#226ab5;">Edit</a>
                            <div data-role="popup" id="edit_business_email" data-theme="a" class="ui-corner-all">
                                <a href="javascript:;" data-rel="back" class="ui-btn ui-corner-all ui-shadow ui-btn-a ui-icon-delete ui-btn-icon-notext ui-btn-right">Close</a>
                                <div style="padding:10px 20px;">
                                    <h3>Business Email</h3>
                                    <input type="text" name="edit_business_email" id="edit_business_email" placeholder="business email">
                                    <button type="button" class="ui-btn ui-corner-all" onclick="save_editable('edit_business_email')" data-rel="back" data-transition="inverse" >Save</button>
                                </div>
                            </div>

</pre>

I notice that the data-rel="back" doesn't work now.

Mmmm I detected that the problem with this issue is only in Emulator instead when I tested on device works fine, then is an issue with the emulator in this version 2170 OSX.

Do not use the Emulate tab to verify proper behavior. Please see these doc pages:

• https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/intel-xdk-introduction
• https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/intel-xdk-dev-emulator-limitations
• https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/dev-emulator

I exchanged some emails with the responsible engineer and he believes this may be related to simulation of the history mechanism inside the Emulate tab -- which may be breaking your code. However, it's not entirely clear if that is the problem...

Perhaps this thread might help: https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/5950

[Alexander_F_]

Yes I saw this thread and follow the instructions but still I have the problem but only in the Emulator.

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

A bug has been filed, but it is not clear how long it will take to resolve the issue. Certainly not before the next release. Releases typically happen in a 6-8 week cadence.

Thank you

Hey a new issue here, before with this command I open a new window and a back button appeared to return to my previous page but now is gone, without change nothing.. any advice could help,

thank you in advance.

window.open(url, '_blank', 'location=yes');

My guess is it has to do with the domain whitelist, but this only affects built apps. It is not clear to me if you mean this is impacting you in the Emulate tab, in App Preview, with the Debug tab or in a built app. Please clarify.

FYI -- here is the whitelist explanation: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/cordova-cli-412-domain-whitelisting-with-intel-xdk-for-ajax-and-launching-external-apps

I have similar issues in the emulator.

In this latest version data-rel='back' does not work. 

I am using Windows. Intel XDK 2248. This looks like a bug introduced in a recent version of the emulator.

Can someone from Intel have a look at this please?

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

Yes, this appears to be related to a bug that was introduced in the 2170 release of the Emulate tab. The 2248 release contains a simple hot-fix that did not address any of the Emulate tabs, it only addressed a login issue. Please see the release notes for additional info and try using the Debug tab to debug you app, as a workaround to the Emulate tab. The Debug tab will automatically sense changes to your files if you use the built-in editor (it should do this for any editor, but currently does not, this is a known bug).

Hey still with the same issue in the new version, I have this html line, but when I clicked on back button nothing happens

<a href="javascript:" data-rel="back" data-transition="flip"><i class="fa fa-chevron-left"></i></a>

I appreciate any comments ASAP, thanks in advance.

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

There's a new version coming out fairly soon that contains some code fixes that should address your issue.

For the long term I recommend you don't use the "javascript:" protocol inside of links in html tags, it is considered a security risk and the standard security settings in future Cordova releases are changing some of the rules regarding security, due to apps getting rejected from stores for security issues.
