no event before the page is loaded

[v3n3]

it would be nice to have an event triggered before a page is loaded.

For example, it can be useful for unbinding listeners in the previous page (specially in case of a multi page data like product list) or add tracking. The main advantage of using such event rather than changepage is that you can use them when you load page in background (directly using $.mobile.loadpage()).

Could you add this issue to the feature request wiki page and link to here? We'll re-open it once we decide to work on it.

Just an FYI, this landed on the HEAD. The events to listen for are pagebeforeload, pageload, and pageloadfailed. A data object is passed as the 2nd arg of a bound callback. The data for all 3 events contain an url and absUrl properties. The pageload event data contains an additional property that is the jQuery collection that contains the page that was just loaded and inserted into the DOM.
