title: jQueryMobile button down color
body: <p>I have a button defined as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;a id="myBtn" href="" data-role="button"&gt;Logon&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I have a tap event associated with the button. However when tapped it does not change to ui-btn-down-c theme color. Note that if it has an href like this it works.</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;a id="myBtn" href="logon.html" data-role="button"&gt;Logon&lt;/a&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I cannot use this in my app so this workaround is no good for me. Any thoughts on why this does not work. Also I have set the background for the button inside the tap event handler but there is a serious lag before it turns that color (at least in iOS) in PhoneGap.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
