Demo for optimized fixed persistent toolbar: active page tab not highlighted

If you run the demo for the optimized fixed persistent toolbar at https://github.com/jquery/demos.jquerymobile.com/blob/master/1.4.0/toolbar-fixed-persistent-optimized/index.html, the first page displays fine and the first tab is highlighted as the first page is shown.

When you then click on a different tab, the page does transition correctly, but the clicked tab is not highlighted any more after the new page is displayed. Only after the same tab is clicked again, it it then highlighted.

It works fine in the non optimized version of the demo at https://github.com/jquery/demos.jquerymobile.com/tree/master/1.4.0/toolbar-fixed-persistent, but this one uses deprecated code (see #7085).

Thank you for reporting this. However this is not a bug anything external you need to manage anything related to nav your self this includes button states.

@arschmitz: Thanks for you quick reply. Just to make sure I get this right: You are saying that with the optimized fixed persistent toolbar I should add some code like in the non optimized sample to switch the button states according to the clicked tab, right?

Thats right im not closing this because i think i want to add this to the demo for others to reference but basically on pagecontainershow search all external a tags to see if the url matches and if it does add the active class.

Thanks again. I was going to suggest just that and I am really looking forward to the demo (also for other reasons like attaching to the show event on individual pages). Also thanks for your work on JQM!

When we land #7370 we need to copy this to the optimized examples this is fixed already in non optimized one.
