Anyone here familiar with this framework because I have a question.
Seems the idea is to have all of your content in separate divs or other child type elements like li tags. ie #page1, #page2 and so on.
What I want to know is if I can load a completely new page using the .goTo method? If not, what is a better approach.
Thanks

And JQTouch itself is now at http://jquerymobile.com/ - it has better documentation than I remember, though I haven't looked at JQtouch in a while.

to load anew page link must include rel="external"
<a href="#" rel="external">

@sherm - I was discussing this on twitter earlier, but I'll echo what I said there.
Jquery Mobile IMHO is hacky and has very poor performance. The syntax is nice for people that already are familiar with jQuery, but that's about its only advantage. Test the widgets on different mobile devices. They feel cheap and laggy. I'm not a fan of that, or the syntax.
Sencha v1 is mature and stable, and works well. I'm actually using a preview release of v2 on my mobile app - which has its bugs - but performs much smoother than jQuery. Definitely look into it.

To follow on, there's a great book if you're trying to learn Sencha I found helpful: http://www.manning.com/garcia2/

^ Looks interesting - however no demos?
Also, they need a native English speaker to proof their site. Lots of grammar mistakes :)
