JQueryMobile 1.4 has deprecated the pageshow event and instead recommends using pagecontainershow; however, while I'm able to get the pagecontainershow event at a document level, I can't bind a function to a particular page.
<div id="page1" data-role="page">
...
<script>
$( "#page1" ).on( "pagecontainershow", function( event, ui ) {
console.log("page1 pagecontainershow");
} );
</script>
</div>

I also considered using the alternative form of the jQuery "on" function where we use a selector, but that would need to be a parent of the page div, and that might include other pages, so that doesn't work.
As a workaround, I've done this, but it is very inefficient:
function registerOnPageShow(pageId, func) {
var strippedPageId = pageId.replace("#", "");
var e = "pagecontainershow." + strippedPageId;
// TODO why isn't it working to use $(pageId) instead of $(document)?
$( document ).off(e).on(e, null, {page: strippedPageId, f: func}, function(e, ui) {
if ($(":mobile-pagecontainer").pagecontainer("getActivePage")[0].id == e.data.page) {
e.data.f(e, ui);
}
});
}
