Page events are not triggered while navigating between pages in multipage html web files

I am trying to understand jquery mobile page events in multi page html web page.

when I am trying to navigate to window2 within the index1.html , the page events are being triggered and transition is happening.

However if I try to navigate between index1.html to index3.html the page events of index3.html are not being triggered and page transition is happening.

when I tried with adding data-ajax ="false" to index3.html href, the page events of page3.html are being fired. However , the transition is not happening.

can someone pls help me understand 1)why the events are not getting fired? 2)issues in using data-ajax="false"

Below are the pages I am trying to navigate between

index1.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>

  <div data-role="header">

  </div>
  <div data-role="content">
    <p> Window content 1 </p>  
    <a href="#win2"> Window 2 (into the DOM) </a>
    <br /><br />

    <a href="index3.html" data-transition="pop" > 
          Window 3 in index3.html (data-dom-cache=false) </a>

    $(document).bind ("pagebeforeload", function (event, data)

$("#home").on ("pagebeforecreate", function (event)

$("div:jqmData(role=page)").on ("pagecreate", function (event)
{
  alert ("pagecreate id=" + this.id);
});

$("div:jqmData(role=page)").on ("pageinit", function (event)
{

$("div:jqmData(role=page)").bind ("pagebeforeshow", function (event, ui)
{
  alert("pagebefore show");

});

$("div:jqmData(role=page)").bind ("pageshow", function (event, ui)
{
    alert("pageshow");

});

$("div:jqmData(role=page)").bind ("pagebeforehide", function (event, ui)
{
        alert("pagebeforehide");
});

$("div:jqmData(role=page)").bind ("pagehide", function (event, ui)

        alert("pagehide");
});

Solution

This is called Single Page Model, not Multi-Page.

As JQM uses Ajax Navigation to switch between pages, when you call an external page e.g. Index2.html, it loads first data-role=page in that page and it neglects all other tags.

Hence, to solve you first problem, you need to place JS code of that page inside data-role=page to get loaded within the page.

When you use data-ajax=false or rel=external, you prevent JQM from loading page via Ajac and instead it is load via HTTP as a fresh page with all tags loaded. That's why il event works.
