cordova - Phonegap + jquery mobile + backbutton + pageinit -

i'm developing phonegap (cordova 2.5.0) app jquery mobile (1.3.1). question concerning pageinit function behavior after button pressed. first time when navigating (for example) statics-page, pageinit fires normally. after when button pressed , navigating menu page same statics-page again pageinit not fires anymore. possible cause of behavior?

  //pageinit $("#staticspage").live("pageinit", function(){     alert(staticspage init);     init_statistics(); });     document.addeventlistener("deviceready", appready, false);  //handle button function appready(){        document.addeventlistener("backbutton", function(e){         if($.mobile.activepage.is('#menupage'))         {             e.preventdefault();             navigator.app.exitapp();         }          else if($.mobile.activepage.is('#staticspage'))         {         e.preventdefault();         $.mobile.changepage($("#menupage"));         }         else          {              navigator.app.backhistory();         }     }, false);      }  

the pageinit event fired once page loaded dom, fired once.

triggered on page being initialized, after initialization occurs

i use pageshow event. fired when navigate page:

triggered on "topage" after transition animation has completed.

so, try using code instead:

$('#staticspage').on('pageshow', function(){     alert(staticspage init);     init_statistics(); });  document.addeventlistener("deviceready", appready, false);  //handle button function appready() {        document.addeventlistener('backbutton', function(e){         var activepage = $.mobile.activepage.attr('id');          if(activepage == 'menupage')         {             e.preventdefault();             navigator.app.exitapp();         }         else if(activepage == 'staticspage')         {             e.preventdefault();             $.mobile.changepage('#menupage');         }         else          {              navigator.app.backhistory();         }     }, false); }
