jQuery Mobile pagebeforecreate Event
Example
Display some text information before the enhancement begins when the page is initializing:
Definition and Usage
The pagebeforecreate event is triggered before the page initialization and when jQuery Mobile starts enhancing the page.
Note: This event can only be triggered once per page - when the page is first loaded, jQuery Mobile caches the page in the DOM (memory). Therefore, when you navigate back to the first page from a second page via the browser, this event will not be triggered because the first page has already been initialized.
Related Events:
- pagecreate - Triggered after the page is created but before enhancement is complete.
- pageinit - Triggered after the page is initialized and when enhancement is complete.
