I have the following code:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title></title>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    $( function() {
        window.onload = function () {
            alert('This page was just hidden:');
        }
    });
    </script>
</head>
<body pageshow="alert('Done');">
<div id="mypage" data-role="page"  data-theme="b"> 
    <div data-role="header">
        <h1>Page 2</h1>
    </div> 
    <div data-role="content">
        <p>This is page 2.</p> 
    </div> 
</div> 
</body>
</html>

But the pageShow event is not firing in IE. Any idea why?

    OnPageShow and OnPageHide are new HTML5 event attributes, and as such will only enjoy limited browser support (at the time of writing)

    Its more likely that later versions of incumbent browsers will support it. Firefox certainly will, as will Safari according to this article.

    I couldn’t find anything that stated it definitively, but I would say that its likely that these events aren’t supported in the version of IE that you are using. Can you maybe post this information for clarification.

    Hope this helps
