I’ve spent 5 hours just trying to make the loading message show up using jQuery Mobile. Instead, I’m getting:

Uncaught TypeError: Object #<Object> has no method ‘loading’

Here is my code:

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    $.mobile.loading("show");
</script>

Here is the current code:

    <head> 
    <title>My Page</title> 
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> 
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.css" />
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.1.min.js"></script>

    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.1.1/jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        $.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg();
    </script>
</head>

    The exception you’re encountering is due to an inaccurate method reference, as stated in the error:

    Uncaught TypeError: Object # has no method ‘loading’

    The loading() method was added in 1.2, but you’re using 1.1.1, which is why it states it does not have a loading method.

    Show or hide the page loading message, which is configurable via
    $.mobile.loader prototype options as described in the widget docs or
    can be controlled via a params object.

    Usage:

    //cue the page loader
$.mobile.loading( 'show' );

//use theme swatch "b", a custom message, and no spinner
$.mobile.loading( 'show', { theme: "b", text: "foo", textonly: true });

    The method that you should be using for your version is showPageLoadingMsg().

    Usage: 

    //cue the page loader
$.mobile.loadingMessage = 'Loading...Please wait';
$.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg();

//use theme swatch "b", a custom message, and no spinner
$.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg("b", "This is only a test", true);
