JqueryMobile page initialization function - asp.net-mvc

I am using a master page on a JQuery-Mobile app that have few controller , and I want to set up a Javascript call to an initialize function on every page even when it loads through Ajax,
Iam sure there are few ways to do that, but whats the best approach and what would be the alternative to $(document).ready when the page is called through ajax instead of being directly loaded without that.

takepara's answer is correct, but...
If you want to modify the content of the page you will have to bind earlier.
Take a look at beforepagecreate event.
If your handler for this event returns false, then no JQM widgets and styles will be applied and you can work with it manually.

jQuery Mobile Docs - Events
$('div').live('pageshow',function(event, ui){
alert('This page was just hidden: '+ ui.prevPage);
});
or
$(document).bind("pageshow".function(){
// initialize code here
});

Apache Wicket and jQuery JavaScript in head section only loaded once

I face some strange issues when integrating jQuery with Wicket.
We load each content item as Panel in Wicket using Ajax. So it is a Single Page Application.
In the header of the Panel we add some JS, for example:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready( function() {
$('#example').dataTable( {
"sScrollY": "200px",
"bPaginate": false
} );
} );
</script>
However this code seems to be executed only the first time the Panel is loaded. If you reload the Panel into the application using Ajax, the code is not executed anymore.
I guess JS $(document).ready is only initialized one time, the second time you load the same JS into the browser $(document).ready is no more called.
Is there a workaround with Wicket for that issue?
Thanks!
Sebastian
document ready gets called only once, if you want to call on every load write the code as a seperate method and call it on success of every ajax load
I was able to resolve my issues given on this answer: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/wicket-users/201209.mbox/%3CCAAJwaYUSfoFZHVP4EXSxuw_Co-J0W6qvV1MR8wGERjfNzj2CxA%40mail.gmail.com%3E
You could add Renderhead().It executes whatever is being written inside it even on page refresh

jQuery Mobile breaks my site

I load jQuery Mobile on my site when I am only on a mobile touchscreen device. When I do though. It messes up everything. For example, select menus don't work quite right, as well, the words "loading, loading, undefined" appear at the bottom of the page. I know I am missing something but do not know what.
Any ideas on what I could be missing?
Thanks
EDIT: Okay, So I took out all scripts that I am running except for jQuery and jQuery Mobile. I call jQuery first, then jQuery Mobile. It still breaks aspects of the site.
What it breaks:
- I cannot navigate to any other page via the navbar, if I click on a nav item, and look in the url, the correct url appears (with a # in it) like: /#/about-us/ Then, it just redirects to the home page and the page goes white
Select menus have weird results. It prints out whatever is in the select right beside it. And if you in landscape mode on the ipad and you click on the select, it sends you to the bottom of the page (weird).
it prints out 'loading' twice and 'undefined' once at the bottom of the page
All I have for scripts are jQuery and jQuery Mobile. I should also mention that I am using wordpress so it might have enqueued some other scripts (I have deregistered Wordpress' version of jquery and enqueued my own)
Anyone else experiencing these problems?
jQueryMobile replace your normal links with Ajax one, so every page can be loaded by the ajax, text on docs page:
(..) Ajax is used to load the contents of each page into the DOM as you navigate, and the DOM ready handler only executes for the first page. To execute code whenever a new page is loaded and created, you can bind to the pageinit event. This event is explained in detail at the bottom of this page.
If you want to disable single link to be loaded by the ajax you should write something like this:
<a href="/some_page" data-ajax="false" >link</a>
or do it globally:
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function() {
$.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false;
});
jm also does replacement on other elements so you should try using data-role attribute, for example:
<select id="test" data-role="none">
to disable replacing this element.
For those like me where
$.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false;
did not work and the whole page layout seems still broken:
For me this one works (- set it inline before loading the jquery mobile file):
<script>
// Preload configuration
$( document ).on( "mobileinit", function() {
$.mobile.autoInitializePage = false; // This one does the job
});
</script>
Furthermore if you want to disable jQuery mobile automatic link and form handling via ajax, set (as dvk3 said) ajaxEnabled to false and pushStateEnabled to false as recommended:
$.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false;
$.mobile.pushStateEnabled = false; // Recommended is false, when ajax is disabled
For further information see: http://api.jquerymobile.com/global-config/
I'm using v1.4.5
Same happened to me by mixing mobile with other frameworks. Fixed issue but getting custom build of jQuery.mobile. My case was that I needed swipe for touch devices only so used custom min file and nothing was broken after that.
It really depends if you need jQuery.mobile or you need just a certain functionality, Widgets, events? Use custom version that you can build yourself.
You can make and download yours here : http://jquerymobile.com/download-builder/
I hope it worked for you too guys!

jQuery Mobile - firing pageshow event only once

I am trying to execute a snippet of JS only once, after the page has completely loaded and JQM has taken care of all the ui modifications (i.e. listviews, buttons, etc.). I do want it to execute only on that page, and not on subsequent pages.
What I tried first, was pageshow
<script>
$('[data-role=page]').live("pageshow", function() {
alert("Ready!");
});
</script>
This has the problem that the function is now attached to the page div and gets executed every time any subsequent page gets shown. However, I only want this to be executed once, and only for the page that contains that JS snippet.
Is there a way to listen to the pageshow event, without actually attaching the function to it.
The only way I was able to do it was by binding and unbinding like this:
<script>
$('[data-role=page]').bind("pageshow.test", testfun);
function testfun() {
alert("Ready!");
$('[data-role=page]').unbind("pageshow.test", testfun);
}
</script>
But is there a more elegant way to do so?
jQuery has a one function to bind an event handler to be executed only once. Check the reference.
The pageinit event fires once per page just after the jQuery Mobile framework initializes its widgets; I think it may be what you're looking for.
pageinit
Triggered on the page being initialized, after initialization occurs.
We recommend binding to this event instead of DOM ready() because this
will work regardless of whether the page is loaded directly or if the
content is pulled into another page as part of the Ajax navigation
system.
Source: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.1.0-rc.1/docs/api/events.html
If you want to bind to a specific page and not the rest, then select only the page you want to alter... Here's an example:
<script>
$(document).delegate('#my-page-id', 'pageinit', function() {
alert("PageInit!");
});
</script>

jQuery Mobile Page refresh mechanism

I'm having a lot of pain understanding how jQuery Mobile handles pages refresh after an ajax update.
I'm having a two pages - unique file site: a search engine.
First page is a search field. Submit triggers a JSON call and parser which updates the second page: results.
for now i'm using: $.mobile.changePage( $('#result') ); which does the job great from search field to result page.
However:
If I reuse it from result page for next/prev pages ( new json call, new parse, new added nodes in the DOM );
Jquery Mobile just don't "paint" the newly added nodes.
can anyone explain, please the use and distinction of
1- $.mobile.page()
2- $.mobile.changePage()
3- $.mobile.refresh()
or give me a hint on how I should handle page changes.
thanks!
function refreshPage()
{
jQuery.mobile.changePage(window.location.href, {
allowSamePageTransition: true,
transition: 'none',
reloadPage: true
});
}
Taken from here http://scottwb.com/blog/2012/06/29/reload-the-same-page-without-blinking-on-jquery-mobile/ also tested on jQuery Mobile 1.2.0
Please take a good look here: http://jquerymobile.com/test/docs/api/methods.html
$.mobile.changePage() is to change from one page to another, and the parameter can be a url or a page object. ( only #result will also work )
$.mobile.page() isn't recommended anymore, please use .trigger( "create"), see also: JQuery Mobile .page() function causes infinite loop?
Important:
Create vs. refresh: An important distinction
Note that there is an important difference between the create event and refresh method that some widgets have. The create event is suited for enhancing raw markup that contains one or more widgets. The refresh method that some widgets have should be used on existing (already enhanced) widgets that have been manipulated programmatically and need the UI be updated to match.
For example, if you had a page where you dynamically appended a new unordered list with data-role=listview attribute after page creation, triggering create on a parent element of that list would transform it into a listview styled widget. If more list items were then programmatically added, calling the listview’s refresh method would update just those new list items to the enhanced state and leave the existing list items untouched.
$.mobile.refresh() doesn't exist i guess
So what are you using for your results? A listview? Then you can update it by doing:
$('ul').listview('refresh');
Example:
http://operationmobile.com/dont-forget-to-call-refresh-when-adding-items-to-your-jquery-mobile-list/
Otherwise you can do:
$('#result').live("pageinit", function(){ // or pageshow
// your dom manipulations here
});
I posted that in jQuery forums (I hope it can help):
Diving into the jQM code i've found this solution. I hope it can help other people:
To refresh a dynamically modified page:
function refreshPage(page){
// Page refresh
page.trigger('pagecreate');
page.listview('refresh');
}
It works even if you create new headers, navbars or footers. I've tested it with jQM 1.0.1.
I found this thread looking to create an ajax page refresh button with jQuery Mobile.
#sgissinger had the closest answer to what I was looking for, but it was outdated.
I updated for jQuery Mobile 1.4
function refreshPage() {
jQuery.mobile.pageContainer.pagecontainer('change', window.location.href, {
allowSamePageTransition: true,
transition: 'none',
reloadPage: true
// 'reload' parameter not working yet: //github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/7406
});
}
// Run it with .on
$(document).on( "click", '#refresh', function() {
refreshPage();
});
I solved this problem by using the the data-cache="false" attribute in the page div on the pages I wanted refreshed.
<div data-role="page" data-cache="false">
/*content goes here*/
</div>
In my case it was my shopping cart. If a customer added an item to their cart and then continued shopping and then added another item to their cart the cart page would not show the new item. Unless they refreshed the page. Setting data-cache to false instructs JQM not to cache that page as far as I understand.
Hope this helps others in the future.
This answer did the trick for me http://view.jquerymobile.com/master/demos/faq/injected-content-is-not-enhanced.php.
In the context of a multi-pages template, I modify the content of a <div id="foo">...</div> in a Javascript 'pagebeforeshow' handler and trigger a refresh at the end of the script:
$(document).bind("pagebeforeshow", function(event,pdata) {
var parsedUrl = $.mobile.path.parseUrl( location.href );
switch ( parsedUrl.hash ) {
case "#p_02":
... some modifications of the content of the <div> here ...
$("#foo").trigger("create");
break;
}
});

jQuery Mobile - Do something on page load

I want to do something every time a page loads. It's something that fixes the way the mobile site looks on different devices so it needs to happen on AJAX loads too.
At the moment, I've tried the traditional $(function(){ /*...*/ }); approach but that only works on the first load, and not subsequent AJAX loads.
I've been looking for the right event to bind to but I'm failing pretty hard.
You can use JQuery to bind to each "page" (div's set with the data-role=page attribute) and use the pageshow event (there are some others as well: pagebeforeshow, pagehide, pagebeforehide).
$(document).delegate('.ui-page', 'pageshow', function () {
//Your code for each page load here
});
http://api.jquerymobile.com/pageshow/
Note: this answer was written for jQuery Mobile 1.0.1, see the documentation link above for more information.
You can listen to the pageshow or pagecreate event and do your work there.
