Question

In Jquery Mobile 2 pages enter the DOM (one which is hidden) when attempting to fire this event

$(document).delegate('div[data-role=page]', 'pagebeforeshow', function (e, data) {

It never fires, I am guessing for that reason. Luckily in my case both pages have different ids. How do I change this event to fire on a page with id=”AppPage”?

<div data-role="page" data-theme="b" id="AppPage">

I think you may want to try:

$( '#AppPage' ).live( 'pagebeforeshow',function(){
    alert( "Before showing the page AppPage");
});
