Instance Method Details

- (undefined) ensure_trailing_slash (private)

This method is part of a private API. You should avoid using this method if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

Make sure there's a trailing slash on the URL

jQuery Mobile really wants us always to have a trailing slash on our URLs, since we often are redirecting to subdirectory pages (e.g., from /datasets/ to /datasets/2/ to /datasets/2/task/3/results/, etc.). This helper makes sure we've always got a trailing slash. Don't disable it!

Returns:

  • (undefined)
