Load checkboxes before click on the page jquery mobile

Question

I'm trying to load check boxes on a page before it is clicked on. I have a function that create the check boxes and works great. I just trying to work out how to load the check boxes on a separate page before you click on it.

Here is my code

     $(document).on('pageshow', function() {    
        $.mobile.activePage.find("div [data-role=tabs] ul li:first-child a").click();

    });

   **//THIS IS THE PAGE I WANT THE CHECK BOX CREATED BEFORE LOADED**
     $('#fragment-2').on('pagebeforeload', function(){
        createCheckboxes()

     });

**//HERE IS HOW THE CHECK BOX ARE CREATED**
function createCheckboxes(){

        var players_names = playerCal("ars", 7, 5);
         $("#createBtn").remove();
         $(".content").append('<fieldset class="cbFieldSet" data-role="controlgroup">');
         var length = players_names[0].length;
         $(".cbFieldSet").append("<ul data-role='listview' data-inset='true' data-theme='d' data-divider-theme='e' data-count-theme='b'><li data-role='list-divider'><span>Select players in the next line up2</span></li></li>");
         for(var i=0;i<length;i++){
            $(".cbFieldSet").append('<li><input type="checkbox" name="cb-'+i+'" id="cb-'+i+'" value="'+players_names[0][i]+'"/><label for="cb-'+i+'">'+players_names[0][i]+'</label></li>');
         }

          $(".cbFieldSet").append("</ul>");

         $(".content").trigger("create");
         $("#showBtn").css("visibility","visible");
         console.log(players_names);
        }

You can do it in several different ways.

Lets say you have two separate pages #index and #second.

1. Do it before page is even active, of course this solution will work only if you are using multi page template, where every page is inside one HTML file:

    $(document).on('pageshow', '#index', function(){ createCheckboxes(); }); $(document).on('click', '#test', function(){ alert('Automated Click'); }); $(document).on('pageshow', '#second', function(){ $.mobile.activePage.find("#test").trigger( "click" ); }); function createCheckboxes(){ $('#second').find(".content").append('<fieldset class="cbFieldSet" data-role="controlgroup">'); $(".cbFieldSet").append("<ul data-role='listview' data-inset='true' data-theme='d' data-divider-theme='e' data-count-theme='b'><li data-role='list-divider'><span>Select players in the next line up2</span></li></li>"); for(var i=0;i<5;i++){ $(".cbFieldSet").append('<li><input type="checkbox" name="cb-'+i+'" id="cb-'+i+'" value="Meh"/><label for="cb-'+i+'">BEh</label></li>'); } $(".cbFieldSet").append("</ul>"); $(".content").trigger("create"); $("#showBtn").css("visibility","visible"); }

2. Do it during second page pagecreate event:

    $(document).on('pagecreate', '#second', function(){ createCheckboxes(); }); $(document).on('click', '#test', function(){ alert('Automated Click'); }); $(document).on('pageshow', '#second', function(){ $.mobile.activePage.find("#test").trigger( "click" ); }); function createCheckboxes(){ $('#second').find(".content").append('<fieldset class="cbFieldSet" data-role="controlgroup">'); $(".cbFieldSet").append("<ul data-role='listview' data-inset='true' data-theme='d' data-divider-theme='e' data-count-theme='b'><li data-role='list-divider'><span>Select players in the next line up2</span></li></li>"); for(var i=0;i<5;i++){ $(".cbFieldSet").append('<li><input type="checkbox" name="cb-'+i+'" id="cb-'+i+'" value="Meh"/><label for="cb-'+i+'">BEh</label></li>'); } $(".cbFieldSet").append("</ul>"); $(".content").trigger("create"); $("#showBtn").css("visibility","visible"); }
