Definition and Usage
The pageinit event was deprecated in jQuery version 1.4.0. Use the pagecreate event instead.
The pageinit event is triggered when the page has been initialized and after jQuery Mobile has finished enhancing the page content.
Before version 1.4, this event was used instead of the jQuery DOM ready() method, to place all other jQuery events and functions. This is because it will work whether the page is loaded directly or through the AJAX call of another page. However, as of version 1.4, this has been replaced by the pagecreate event.
Note: This event is only triggered once per "page" - Every time a page is loaded for the first time, jQuery Mobile caches pages in the DOM (memory), so when you navigate back from pagetwo to pageone (for example), this event will not fire, because then, pageone is already initialized.
Related events:
- pagebeforecreate - triggered when the page is about to be initialized, but before enhancement has begun
- pagecreate - triggered when the page is created, but before enhancement is complete
Syntax
