I'm developing an application in which I have internal and external links. i noticed that Jquery mobile does not load the spinner when an external link is clicked:

Example

<a href = "/products">Spinner is shown </a>

<a href = "othersite.com" rel = "external">Spinner is NOT shown </a> 

I have tried :

$('a[href][rel=external]').click(function(){  //doesnt work
     $.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg();

 }

and:

$('a[href][rel=external]').click(function(){
// shows the spinner but it gets stuck forever
     $.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg();

    $('#loadingDiv').div("refresh");


}

can someone help me show the spinner when the rel = external links are clicked?

thanks!
