jQuery mobile swipe content only

Question

So I used the jquery mobile ui to do a page, swipe left/right, now this dosen't work for me since I just want to swipe only the content, not the entery body of the page, I tried to use data-role="content" but It doesn't work anymore only with data-role="page" is it posibile to have that swipe animation, but only for the content?

I have some <article> and I want to swipe them left/right....but I don't want to swipe the header and other things..just the middle section.

And also to disable that stupid jquery mobile theme if posibile.

//Le

Code structure

<header data-role="header"> .... </header>
 <section>
  <!-- only this part I want to swipe, one article at a time -->
  <article data-role="page"> .....  </article>
  <article data-role="page"> .....  </article>
  <article data-role="page"> .....  </article>
  <article data-role="page"> .....  </article>
  <!-- only this part I want to swipe, one article at a time -->
</section>
<footer> ... </footer>

  $('article').bind("swipeleft", function(){
    var nextpage = $(this).next('article[data-role="page"]');
    // swipe using id of next page if exists
    if (nextpage.length > 0) {
      $.mobile.changePage(nextpage, {transition: "slide",
    reverse: false}, true, true);
    }

  });

  $('article').bind("swiperight", function(){
    var prevpage = $(this).prev('article[data-role="page"]');
    if (prevpage.length > 0) {
    $.mobile.changePage(prevpage, {transition: "slide",
    reverse: true}, true, true);
    }

  });

You can cheat here, there's a way you can change page in jQM but make it look like only content has been changed. It can be done if you place a data-id="footer" attribute in every header and every footer.

I have created a working jsFiddle example for you: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/NV6Py/

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Share QR</title>
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>     
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.2.0/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css" />   
  <script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.2.0/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js"></script>
</head>

<body>

  <article data-role="page" id="article1">
    <div data-role="header" data-theme="b" data-position="fixed" data-id="footer">
      <h1>Articles</h1>
    </div>
    <div data-role="content">
      <p>Article 1</p>
    </div>
    <div data-role="footer" data-theme="b" data-position="fixed" data-id="footer">
      <h1>Footer</h1>    
    </div>
  </article>

  <article data-role="page" id="article2">
    <div data-role="header" data-theme="b" data-position="fixed" data-id="footer">
      <a href="#article1" data-icon="home" data-iconpos="notext">Home</a>
      <h1>Articles</h1>
    </div>
    <div data-role="content">
      <p>Article 2</p>
    </div>
    <div data-role="footer" data-theme="b" data-position="fixed" data-id="footer">
      <h1>Footer</h1>
    </div>
  </article>

  <article data-role="page" id="article3">
    <div data-role="header" data-theme="b" data-position="fixed" data-id="footer">
      <a href="#article1" data-icon="home" data-iconpos="notext">Home</a>
      <h1>Articles</h1>
    </div>
    <div data-role="content">
      <p>Article 3</p>
    </div>
    <div data-role="footer" data-theme="b" data-position="fixed" data-id="footer">
      <h1>Footer</h1>
    </div>
  </article>

</body>
</html>

In case you want to prevent jQM page styling you can do it with a help of a data-enhance="false" attribute, it must be placed in page/article container and initialized with a :

<script>
    $(document).on('mobileinit', function () {
        $.mobile.ignoreContentEnabled = true;
    });
</script>

Also remember, mobileinit event must be initialized before jQM js is loaded.

I have also a working example of this : http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/5gXKj/, this is a same example like top one but without jQM page markup enhancement.

The only problem that I see on my iphone, when I swipe left, the text size decreases and increases like a snap... — Uffo, Feb 17 '13 at 11:23
And it goes multiple slides foward... I guess I need an unbind..but I don't know how.. — Uffo, Feb 17 '13 at 11:29
Try this one: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/NV6Py/ , this should prevent multiple event binding. There are other method of multiple event binding prevention and you can find them in my other answer/article: http://stackoverflow.com/a/14469041/1848600 — Gajotres, Feb 17 '13 at 11:36
In order to prevent that `snap`to the right I needed `` works like a charm now, God bless you! I will accept it right now! — Uffo, Feb 17 '13 at 11:44

Another method is to pin your fixed headers/footers in their position and then slide will move content only.

HTML:

<body>

<div id="site-header"> My fixed-position header </div>

<div data-role="page" id="pageone">
    ...
    <a href="#pagetwo" data-transition="slide">Slide to Page Two</a>
    ...
</div> 

<div data-role="page" id="pagetwo">
    ...
    <a href="#pageone">Go to Page One</a>
    ...
</div>

</body>

CSS:

#site-header {
    position: absolute;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    width: 100%;
    z-index: 1;
}
