jQuery mobile appending html code

Question

I would like to append some code to a page using jQuery/jQuery mobile, I would only like to append once not on each visit to the page.

You can check for the existence of the code you are appending before actually appending. That way on subsequent visits to the page the data will not be added:

$('#page1').live('pageshow', function ()                
{  
    //  alert("!");
    if ($(this).find('p.appended_code').length === 0) {
        var section1 = "<p class='appended_code'>some code for page 1...</p>";                
        myClone1 = $(section1);                                 
        myClone1.appendTo("#placeholder1").trigger('create');
    }
});

Note that I added the 'appended_code' class to the paragraph tag that you are appending and that is the selector I used to check for the existence of appended code.

--Update--

You can also clean-up the code a bit if you are using naming conventions based on numbers:

var pageData = new Array();
pageData[1] = "<p class='appended_class'>some code for page 1...</p>";
pageData[2] = "<p class='appended_class'>some code for page 2...</p>";
$('div[id^="page"]').live('pagebeforeshow', function () {
    if ($(this).find('p.appended_class').length === 0) {
        var page_num = $(this).attr('id').replace('page', '');
        $("#placeholder" + page_num).append(pageData[page_num]).trigger('create');
    }
});

Note that the div[id^="page"] selector searches for divs with an id that starts with "page"

Here is a jsfiddle for ya: http://jsfiddle.net/S3wE6/1/

If you want the data to be appended on the initial load I would recommend making the line of code where the data is appended into a function and calling it on $(document).ready();

ok this was a little tricky but here is a live version:

http://jsfiddle.net/phillpafford/QfjaE/27/

JS:

var elem_id;
var appendToStatus = {};
appendToStatus['page1'] = true;
appendToStatus['page2'] = true;

$('div').live('pageshow', function() {  
    elem_id = $(this).attr('id');
    appendToStatus[elem_id] = fnCreateGroups(elem_id, appendToStatus[elem_id]);
}); 

function fnCreateGroups(elem_id, appendToStatus) {
    if(appendToStatus == true) {
        var section = "<p>some code for " + elem_id + "...</p>";
        myClone = $(section);               
        myClone.appendTo("#" + elem_id + "_placeholder").trigger('create');
        return false;
    }               
}

HTML:

<div data-role="page" id="page1">       
        <div data-role="content">
                <div data-role="navbar">
                <ul><li><a data-icon="home" data-transition="none" href="#page1">page1</a></li>
                    <li><a data-icon="grid" data-transition="none" href="#page2">page2</a></li>             
                </ul>
                </div>
            <div id="page1_placeholder">Page 1</div>
        </div>      
</div>

<div data-role="page" id="page2">       
    <div data-role="content">
            <div data-role="navbar">
                <ul><li><a data-icon="home" data-transition="none" href="#page1">page1</a></li>
                    <li><a data-icon="grid" data-transition="none" href="#page2">page2</a></li>             
                </ul>
            </div>
        <div id="page2_placeholder">Page 2</div>
    </div>
</div>

This seem to work... with minimal changes. Only add on pagecreate event.

    <script>
    $('#page1').live('pagecreate', function ()              
        {  
                var section1 = "<p>some code for page 1...</p>";                
                myClone1 = $(section1);                                 
                myClone1.appendTo("#placeholder1").trigger('create');
        });             

    $('#page2').live('pagecreate', function ()              
        {  
                var section2 = "<p>some code for page 2...</p>";
                myClone2 = $(section2);

        });

                    </div>
                <div id="placeholder1">Page 1</div>
            </div>      
    </div>

    <div data-role="page" id="page2">

                    </div>
                <div id="placeholder2">Page 2</div>
            </div>
