Yet another use of pagecontainerbeforechange; it is navigate, hashchange and popstate all in one event! Whether browser’s back button or $.mobile.back() is used, pagecontainerbeforechange is what you need.
As I have mentioned in my previous article about that event, it event fires twice on each page change, first time it returns toPage as a string, and second time as an object. To alter toPage value, it should be a string, so you need to do changes on first time it fires.
Navigation direction can be obtained from options.direction, it can be back or forward.
$(document).on("pagecontainerbeforechange", function (e, data) {
if (typeof data.toPage == "string" && data.options.direction == "back" && data.prevPage[0].id == "PageX") {
data.toPage = "#pageY"; /* redirect to pageY */
data.options.transition = "flip"; /* optional */
}
});
