If you've tried integrating your own JavaScript into a jQuery Mobile site, you might find that it executes only once, on the first page the user visits.<\/p>\n

This is not a bug, but purely a side-effect of the way jQuery Mobile uses AJAX requests to load pages.<\/p>\n

By wrapping your JS as seen below, you're script will be called with each page "transition":<\/p>\n

$('div').live('pageshow',function(event, ui){
\n\t  initMySite();
\n\t}<\/code><\/p>\n

To ensure that your code is called on the first page, as well as all subsequent pages, you'll need to do the following:<\/p>\n

$(document).ready(function() {
\n\t  initMySite();
\n\t  $('div').live('pageshow',function(event, ui){
\n\t    initMySite();
\n\t  });
\n\t});<\/code><\/p>\n

initMySite = function() {
\n\t  \/\/ my initialization code goes here
\n\t}
\n\t<\/code><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
