## Definition and Usage
The pagecreate event is triggered after a page is successfully created, but before jQuery Mobile has enhanced the page.
**Note:** This event can only be triggered once per page - when the page is loaded for the first time, jQuery Mobile caches the page in the DOM (memory), so when you navigate back to the first page from the second page via the browser, this event will not be triggered, because the first page has already been initialized.
**Note:** Before version 1.4, we used the pageinit event (deprecated) for this purpose.
**Tip:** This event is typically used when users want to enhance custom components:
$(document).on("pagecreate","#pagetwo",function(event){ $.(":jqmData(role='my-plugin')").myPlugin();});
**Related Events:**
- Triggered after page initialization, but before page enhancement.
- Triggered after the page has been fully initialized and enhanced.
