jQuery mobile scripts not working?

Question

Here's my situation:

I have two pages. I use this line of code to execute things when a user changes between the two pages. It works, but only when I am loading a page for the first time. If I am returning to a previous page (one that I already visited), it doesn't call this method.

$('div:jqmData(role="page")').live('pagebeforeshow',function(){ ... });

For example:

I visit page A; the code executes.

I click a link on page A to go to page B; the code executes.

I click a link on page B to go back to page A; the code DOES NOT execute.

I then refresh the page (now on page A), the code does again execute.

Any reason why that would happen?

In that case, your question is a duplicate of the other one you found. — Matt Ball

To some extent, it has, but the other guy did not ask about returning to the same page - he said just pages in general. — Andrew

Here is a demonstration I made for you to show when events fire for pages in the jQuery Mobile framework (version 1.0): http://jsfiddle.net/jasper/QjtZW/1/

When you navigate to different pages the pageshow event always fires on the page being shown as you can see in my example.

If you are having issues with pageshow firing as it should then you probably have an error or some errors in your code that are blocking code from running. Make sure your error console is clear.

Thank you! It's pretty clear now that I'm just being an idiot about some other part of my code.
