Solution

  • This will not work.

    DOM content is still empty when mobileinit event is triggred. Pageinit is a first event where you can even think about doing this. But much better one is a pagebeforeshow event.

    $(document).on('pagebeforeshow', '#index', function(){    

});

    Here's my old example of adding dynamically generated content: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/GnB3t/

    And here's another example, just click next button to see a dynamically generated page: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/8jcGb/
