Question

I am adding rows to a JQ Mobile table based on a JSON string that I am getting from the server.

The first time I go to the page after a refresh, none of the styling is added, however everything works fine everytime after that.

Is there a way to refresh/initialize a table as you can for listviews?

The code below is where I am adding the rows:

$.each(result, function() {
    var imgString;

    if(result[i]["status"] == 'Y') {
        imgString = '<img src= images/checkMark.png height=\"40\" width=\"40\" align=\"middle\">';
    } else {
        imgString = '';
    }

    $('#pickupTable > tbody:last').append('<tr><td class=\"tableRow10\">' +  imgString + 
      '<td class=\"tableRow80\"><a><button class=\"selectPickup\" pickupCode = \"'+ 
      result[i]["id"] + '\"> '+ result[i]["address"] +'</button></a></td></tr>');
    i++;
});

$('#pickupTable > tfoot:last').append('<tr><td colspan="5">Total Pick Ups: ' 
  +result.length + '</td></tr>');

I would suggest you use .trigger(‘create’); and refresh the page, jQM Docs:

Enhancing new markup
The page plugin dispatches a pagecreate event, which most widgets use to auto-initialize themselves. As long
as a widget plugin script is referenced, it will automatically enhance
any instances of the widgets it finds on the page.

However, if you generate new markup client-side or load in content via
Ajax and inject it into a page, you can trigger the create event to
handle the auto-initialization for all the plugins contained within
the new markup. This can be triggered on any element (even the page
div itself), saving you the task of manually initializing each plugin
(listview button, select, etc.).

For example, if a block of HTML markup (say a login form) was loaded
in through Ajax, trigger the create event to automatically transform
all the widgets it contains (inputs and buttons in this case) into the
enhanced versions. The code for this scenario would be:

$( ...new markup that contains widgets... ).appendTo( ".ui-page" ).trigger( "create" );
