I am very new to jquery-mobile. Could someone please help with the following problem regarding a multi-page app?
My app has two pages, split into two different files - index2_1.html and index2_2.html given below. When I use $.mobile.changePage("index2_2.html", "slide"); to change to the second page, none of the events in the second page get bound. Actually, none of the Javascript on the second page gets executed. However, if move to the second page using the link
Link to 2nd page that works1
it works fine.
Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Thanks,
Dilip

In contrast to Pravat Maskey's answer, it's possible (and dependent on the use case also intended) to have seperate HTML files. Just imagine a huge application with lots of pages, it would be counterintuitive to load everything up front.
I think the problem you are having is the placement of the JavaScript code. I would try including the page specific code (the script tag and everything it contains) in the page section, just above the closing div of the page. For more details, take a look at this guide: http://jqx.ca/nav/, and check the section "Scripts in jQuery Mobile Pages".
By having the tag in the body, your code is executed once when the sub-page is created for the first time. For your case this should work, as you are binding an event to a DOM node, which only needs to run once.
You could also try registering your code with the pagebeforeshow event if you want to run it everytime the page is shown.

single tap produce popup appearing and beside "cancel" button I put also button for function call. I thought that's enough to put just one "close" to close popup but I needed twice in order to close it. Did I miss something or I must write it on this way in this case?
<div data-role="popup" id="popMe" data-overlay-theme="b" data-theme="a" data-dismissible="false" style="max-width:400px;">
<div data-role="header" data-theme="b">
<h1 id='h1pop'>Tap PopUp</h1>
</div>
<div role="main" class="ui-content">
<h3 class="ui-title">Single tap</h3>
<p>This is a popup...</p>
<a class="ui-btn ui-corner-all ui-shadow ui-btn-inline ui-btn-b" onclick="myfunction()">Call function</a>
Cancel
To Page 2
</div>
</div>
function myfunction() {
$("#popMe").popup("close");
$("#popMe").popup("close");
alert('Here I'm, in the function');
// ... rest of code
}
Here is a snippet which should work for you:
function myfunction() {
$("#popMe").popup("close");
console.log("Here I'm, in the function");
// ... rest of code
}

Please note: if you need a CDN, i would suggest you to use the jQuery Mobile libraries from code.jquery.com
Moreover:
IMHO Popups works well if you need to display small menus or text-only hints, but if you need also form elements or some complex user interaction, i believe a page widget with the dialog option it would be a better choice. Here is a reference: JQM Dialog Pages.
Just a little additional hint: to trace your function execution, try to use the console instead of window.alert, and pay attention how you are enclosing strings.
I have a mobile application which uses the multi-page template. In this application, I want to disable a select when the page is loaded and then enable it after a radio button is clicked. I've seen a strange thing: the disable/enable works (except its style) if the select is put on page 1 but it doesn't work if is put on other pages.
The following is the code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

The code of the javaScript mb.js is shown below:
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#city").prop("disabled", true);
$('input:radio[name="city_type"]').change (
function(){
if ($(this).is(':checked') && $(this).val() == 'YES') {
// alert("Click city_type, Enable");
$("#city").removeAttr('disabled');
// append goes here
} else if ($(this).is(':checked') && $(this).val() == 'NO') {
// alert("Click city_type, Disable");
$("#city").prop("disabled", true);
// append goes here
}
});
});
As seen from the code, the form which contains a select with id 'city' is put on page 1. In this case, the select is disabled at the beginning although its style still looks like enabled. I can enable/disable it by clicking the radio buttons. However after I've moved the form into page 2 from page 1, the select doesn't work! Although it is disabled at the beginning, I am not able to enable/disable it by clicking the radio buttons.
Really I don't know why. I have tried to use different versions of jquery and css but could not fix the problem. Is it a bug in jquery mobile multi-pages? Appreciated if some one can help to fix the problem.
I have had similar problems - without looking extremely close at your code, I notice that you're using $(document).ready() but you should be using:
$(document).delegate("#MyPageId", "pagebeforecreate", function () {
});
and
$(document).delegate("#MyPageId", "pageshow", function () {
})
instead. ( http://forum.jquery.com/topic/jquery-mobile-equivalent-of-document-ready )
Try moving your code into those areas and you'll have some success :)
I have a site built on jQuery Mobile and am trying to get our Terms of Service to open in a dialog.
TOS page is a full page itself (separate URL) and when I link with the dialog reference it simply opens as a new page.
My footer is
<div data-role="footer" data-theme="<?php echo $dataTheme ?>">
<div data-role="navbar">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li><a rel="external" href="http://www.trackmaster.com">Full Site</a></li>
<li>Terms</li>
<li>My Account</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
and my tos.php page is (content stripped for convenience)

I have tried changing the data role of the TOS page to a dialog but that made no difference.
Am I not understanding the way dialog links can be used (from the docs I thought I could open one from any URL simply by defining the link as a dialog)
Site itself is http://mobiletest.trackmaster.com and it is the Terms link in the footer I am trying to get as a dialog (I don't want to include the content on every page, only when the user asks for it)
Any help appreciated (even pointing out the dumb things I am missing)
You are either missing a <div> or they don't match up; you've got two "content" divs.
EDIT: It's probably OK to have one within another, just noting that the <div data-role="page"> is never closed. Don't know if that makes any difference.
Found the issue.
The line in the header
$.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false;
I commented it out and the dialog link works as expected.
was the problem, I am testing it to see what else gets broken when I pull it out :-).
Data role for the TOS page is NOT relevant as loading it as a dialog automatically assigns the dialog data role
I have a dialog (not external html), which is displayed when I click on a button on the page, it works fine if the html containing the dialog is the first page to be accessed , but if that file is opened by clicking on an href from another page, the dialog doesn't show up when I click the button.
Here is the code for the page containing the dialog ... The alert in the click event of the button is showing up even when this is the not the first page to be accessed, but the dialog doesn't show up.

You use jQuery Mobile v1.0 but at the same time you pass incorrect arguments to $.mobile.changePage like if it were say v1.0 alpha. Not sure if it solves your problem but worth trying:
$.mobile.changePage('#successdiv', {
transition: 'pop',
reverse: false,
changeHash: true
});
When I jump from one jquery mobile page to another via a hrefs, I have to set the rel attribute to external, like this:
page2
dfsq is right, only the div[data-role="page"] is loaded when you link to this page from another page. I'd suggest moving the dialog into its own html file and opening it either via
open dialog
or
$.mobile.changePage('your_dialog.htm', {role: 'dialog', transition: 'pop'});
I have just started looking into jquerymobile, done simple samples using jquery.mobile-1.0a1.
I have home.html, auboutus.html pages. In home page, i have a listview with a external link to aboutus.html. It is working fine, by clicking on about us link, about us page is loading with head navigation bar with "Back" button.
Now by using jquery.mobile-1.0a2, in about us page, the header navigation bar got disappeared.
Here is my sample code:
home.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Home</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="jquery-mobile/jquery.mobile-1.0a2.min.css" />
<script src="jquery-mobile/jquery-1.4.4.min.js"></script>

</div>
<div data-role="content">

You should think about using the page design JQuery mobile prefers. You can find it here, you dont need to define different .html files, you can simple add multiple 'pages' with different id's to one html file. The refering is then simple. Check out this link: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a4.1/docs/pages/docs-navmodel.html#../../docs/pages/docs-pages.html
For your link if you want to refer to external, try this: Link
