Popup form submission does not work as expected if the url of the page does not contain a get variable

[jamesjnadeau]

I've outlined this here as well:
https://forum.jquery.com/topic/form-submit-button-in-jquery-mobile-popup-does-not-do-post-back-on-first-click#14737000004284831

Seems someone found this problem before I did but didn't leave enough for someone to run with. I hope to have filled this gap.

(all of this involves the first page load, I'm not navigating anywhere else via ajax)

I have created an example of this issue here:
http://jsbin.com/ikijas

The gist of the issue is that if I am on a page with url such as:
example.com/test/

and I have a form contained with in a popup, it will not submit on the first try, but will close the popup. Upon opening the popup again, and clicking on the same button(which will now have the ui-btn-active class), the form then submits as expected.

On a page such as:
example.com/test?test=1

Everything works as expected.

Thank you in advance for your time! Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

I have run into this precise issue as well. Beyond adding a fake GET parameter to the page URL, any suggestions for a workaround between now and when this is fixed?

Many thanks for your help.

Update to my earlier question for anyone else who may run into this between now and 1.5.0: an explicit form submission via onclick= seems to do the trick.
