Enhancement request to add data attribute for anchors, forms, etc. to specify no hash changes

[joelbbagley]

Currently, it appears that by default in JQM 1.0a4.1, elements such as anchors, forms, etc. that allow page navigation always update the hash and page history navigation unless one explictly captures the click or submit event and then invokes the $.mobile.changePage method themselves specifying that the hash not be updated. It would be quite helpful if a data attribute could be supported that would allow the developer to specify whether they want the hash to be changed for an anchor or form. As an example:

<a id="customButton" name="customButton" href="/some/path" data-change-hash="false" data-role="button">Label</a>

Can you please add this to the feature request wiki and link to this issue? We'll re-open if we decide to implement later.
