Multiple views/pages navigation fails by displaying the incorrect page

[jvence]

I have come across what I think is a major bug in version 3.0's navigation functionality. Firstly, it seems that pages maintain an 'active' status even when the user navigates to another page. Consequently, this leads to problems when a user revisits a page leading to the wrong page being displayed.

I am attaching a file that illustrates this problem. Simply install Kitchen sink, copy test.html to top directory and following instructions:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2LCeg8SYplUZ2pOekswRlk1bG8

Notice how on revisiting a page, the correct header is shown but the incorrect page content is displayed.

As you can see below both pages have an 'active' class

<div class="pages">
                <div id="test1" class="panel active" data-title="Sub1" style="z-index: 1;">
                    Subpage 1
                </div>
                <div id="test2" class="panel active" data-title="Sub2" style="z-index: 1;">
                    Subpage 2
                </div>
            </div>

The way to fix this is to remove the 'active' status of a page when the user navigates away from it

We keep active classes when switching from different views. I won't have time to look into your issue, hopefully someone else can help!

[jvence]

I realize you keep active classes but if different pages within the same view is hit twice, both pages maintain a 'active' status and the third view shows the wrong page (it basically shows the last active page, regardless of which page within the view is requested)

I ran into the same issue. seems like someone posted a pull request on the issue in April.
#850

the update to af.ui.js adds to the runTransition function and removes the active class if found. it works, but it requires a transition to be set when calling the panels, and not sure if it's the best solution.

[jvence]

Not sure that timer to remove the 'active' status of a page is the best approach. Perhaps a function that is called when a page a navigated to that automatically removes 'active' from other pages within the same view.

I won't have time to look into this for a month (vacation and other priorities). If someone has a fix, please submit a pull request WITH EXAMPLES of the error and the fix

Is anyone else at Intel working on this or is this a one man show? Trying to visit http://app-framework-software.intel.com now shows "The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred."

@jvence - the server is maintained by the infrastructure team for HTML5 tools. I've pinged them to ask what's going on. Thanks for the heads up.

[jvence]

Sorry but my concern was more with the bug reported rather then the server. Is this framework actively maintained? Are you the only person working on fixing bugs? Thanks
