How to navigate back one page using $.mobile.changePage

Question

All of the JQuery Mobile documentation I can find about navigating backwards assumes I am going to do this using an anchor tag and suggest I add data-rel=\"back\" t

Answer 1

it makes sense to use data-rel="back" for something like that:

but it is better to use history.back(); inside javascript code blog i.e

.....
.....  
    var cId = $(this).val();
    // do something with control ID then
.....
.....
    goBackParent();
}
function goBackParent(){
     history.back();
}
