Passing Parameters from e-mail link to jQuery mobile web app - email

Question

I created a web app using jquery mobile 1.1.1
As part of my app I built password retrieval functionality. If a user needs to reset their password, they fill out a form and receive an e-mail with a link that includes the address of the password reset page and two other parameters as such:
www.mywebapp.com/demo.html#resetPassword?x=123&y=123
The Initial Problem:
When the user clicks on the link, they see the home page of the web app even though the URL in the address bar says: www.mywebapp.com/demo.html#resetPassword?x=123&y=123 I understand that jQuery mobile does not support passing parameters after the hash, so I came up with the following solution.
A Solution with a small inconvenience:
I put together the following code, which reads the URL, captures my two parameters and redirects the user to the password reset page:
$( document ).bind( "pagebeforeshow", function() {
//cpe("parameter") will check whether the specified URL parameter exists
if(cpe("x") && cpe("y")){
//gpv("parameter") captures the value of the specified URL parameter
recovery.username=gpv("x");
recovery.token=gpv("y");
$.mobile.changePage("#resetPassword");
}
})
The Inconvenience, and thus my current problem:
When the user clicks on the link in the e-mail the browser fires up and opens the main page of the app, and then it quickly displays the #resetPassword page. I understand that this happens because I'm changing the page
$.mobile.changePage("#resetPassword");
But, how do I modify the above code so that the user won't see the main page at all, and go straight to the #resetPassword page?

Answer 1

Use an empty initial page with no content. By default do a changePage to what was your initial page, but in other cases, like the resetPassword case, you changePage to that instead.

Answer 2

I followed Raymond Camden's suggestion and added the following to my html:
<pre>
<!--Start of blank initial page: #initPage-->
<div data-role="page" id="initPage">
<div data-role="content"></div>
</div>
<!-- /page -->
</pre>
I also added the following to my javascript:
//init page -> path control hub
$( document ).bind( "pagebeforeshow", function() {
var pageid=$.mobile.activePage.attr('id');
if(pageid=="initPage"){
if(cpe("x") && cpe("y")){
recovery.username=gpv("x");
recovery.token=gpv("y");
$.mobile.changePage("#resetPassword");
}else{
$.mobile.changePage("#info");
}
}
})
It's working now.
