What To Do When Jquery's Data-rel="Back" Doesn't Works On iOS

I was unaware of the fact that jQuery's data-rel="back", which makes our navigation easier, can create a big problem on iOS, until I faced it. It works very smoothly on Android devices but stops working on iPhones.

Then, how to implement data-rel="back" on iPhones? Initially, let us understand how data-rel="back" of jQuery works and data-rel is an attribute of an anchor tag. It is a feature of jQuery Mobile.

Suppose, I want to implement a back button for which I simply need to write this attribute in an anchor tag. Writing data-rel="back" will make sure that whenever the link is clicked, the link behaves like a back button and the default href of the anchor tag is ignored.

Starting next time, when you need a back button, you can include jQuery mobile library in your code and simply write it.

This works absolutely fine in Android devices. Coming to iOS, let's look at the alternative, which worked for me. Simply replace the data-rel="back" with onclick event.
