Question

I followed the introduction of the official jQuery Mobile docs:

Important: Use pageInit(), not $(document).ready()

but, when I write:

pageInit(function()
    alert('ahhh');
});

my Safari Console tells me: Cant find variable "pageInit"

Why is this? How can I use the function pageInit()?

Answer 1

$( '#aboutPage' ).live( 'pageinit',function(event){
  alert( 'haa!' );
});

or with JQuery 1.7

$("#myPage").on('pageinit', function(event){
    alert('haa');
});

http://api.jquery.com/on/

http://api.jquery.com/live/

btw in JQMobile its recommended to use Jquery 1.6.4, thus, first example is the right one.
