JQuery Mobile Multipage & Appended footer has no styling (Intel XDK)

The multipage is working, but I want to inject the footer code in every page container.
Page Code:
<div data-role="content">
<div class="upage" id="mainpage" data-role="page">
<div class="upage-outer">
<!-- some content -->
</div>
</div>
<div class="upage" id="uberpage" data-role="page">
<div class="upage-outer">
<!-- some content -->
</div>
</div>
</div>
And the I just inject the footer code with some buttons (When device is ready):
$(".upage-outer").append('<div data-role="footer">Copyright + Buttons</div>');
This is the full footer code:
<div data-role="footer" data-position="fixed" class="container-group inner-element uib_w_4" data-uib="jquery_mobile/footer" data-ver="0">
<div data-role="controlgroup" data-type="horizontal" class="brideButtonGroup">
<a class="widget uib_w_6" data-role="button" href="#mainpage" rel="external">Wetter</a>
<a class="widget uib_w_7" data-role="button" onclick="intel.xdk.device.launchExternal('http://wetter2.mt-labor.it.hs-worms.de/plot');">Mehr</a>
<a class="widget uib_w_8" data-role="button" href="#uberpage" rel="external">Über</a>
</div>
</div>
The code gets injected, but on the mainpage, the Buttons are not displayed; instead, there are plain text links. On the second page, everything is displayed very well. I can switch between the pages.
What did I do wrong?
edit: I used enhanceWhithin(), and its working. But when I click somewhere on the document, strange colors appear, which are caused by the class ".ui-fixed-hidden". Where does this come from?
edit2: https://jsfiddle.net/564f1fkf/ It's not exactly the same, but if you go to site 2 and then back to site 1 and click somewhere on the page, you should see the problem.
PS: See pictures

You have to call the enhanceWithin() method on data-role="content" element. This will enhance the newly added HTML into jQuery mobile format.
$("[data-role='content']").enhanceWithin();

Blank page between transitions jQuery Mobile

When using transitions to navigate between two pages in my jQuery Mobile application, I see a blank page between the two pages. This behavior occurs at least on the Slide transition, fade does not show this behavior.
My page structure is like this:
<div id="MainPanelPage" data-role="page">
<div id="MenuLeft" data-role="panel">
...
</div>
<div data-role="header">
...
</div>
<div data-role="ui-content">
...
</div>
</div>
<div id="BannerPage" data-role="page">
<div data-role="header">
...
</div>
<div data-role="ui-content">
...
</div>
</div>
Note: jQuery Mobile wraps these divs into a global div automatically.
I am calling the transition with the following link:
<input type="submit" name="ctl25" value="Meer informatie" onclick="$.mobile.navigate('#BannerPage', { transition: 'slide' });" data-role="button" href="#BannerPage" data-transition="slide">
Please note that I am running ASP.NET and the language is kind of dirty in combination with jQuery Mobile.
I am running jQuery Mobile 1.4.5. After spending hours of trying I decided to ask here for a possible solution. Thanks in advance.

Weird jQuery Mobile highlight behavior on click

I have a pretty average jQuery Mobile app. On the bottom there is a navbar with icons and text.
This is how it should look
but when I tap/click on the page it toggles to this
To save myself some repetition, I've been appending the same footer to each page using this basic script.
$(function ()
{
$("div[data-role='page']").append($("#footer").html());
$("body").trigger('create');
});
And here's the HTML.
<div class="hidden" id="footer">
<div data-role="footer" data-position="fixed" data-id="footer">
<div data-role="navbar" data-iconpos="top">
<ul>
<li>Maps</li>
<li>Rules</li>
<li>Schedule</li>
<li>Settings</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
I believe this script is the cause of this issue. Any ideas for how to fix this behavior?
EDIT: In inspecting the DOM I found that a class called "ui-fixed-hidden" is being toggled on the data-role="footer" div when I click.

It turns out that just because my template footer div was nested in another div with "display: none" doesn't mean that jQuery Mobile wasn't using that element. As such, I had multiple footers which created weird behaviors.
I resolved this by moving my template footer to a seperate html file and then loading it in on page start.

Reopenning JQM dialog

Hi and happy new year,
There is this JQM dialog, which opens likes this via an AJAX call
$('#calendar-event-form-container').html(HTML).toggle();
$("#calendar-event-form-container").dialog({theme:'a'});
and closes by
$("#calendar-event-form-container").dialog('close');
$("#calendar-event-form-container").toggle();
Next time the dialog is opened it loses its JQM theme and position .
Can anybody see where the code has gone wrong?
Thanks in advance
Sincerely,
Babak

andleer is correct, don't use toggle() with jQM, it is not needed. jQM dialog is created to be used as a separated page. Take a look at this example:
<div data-role="page" id="index">
<div data-theme="a" data-role="header">
<h3>
First Page
</h3>
Next
</div>
<div data-role="content">
Open dialo
</div>
<div data-theme="a" data-role="footer" data-position="fixed">
</div>
</div>
<!-- DIALOG BOX -->
<div data-role="page" id="dialog-box" data-theme="b">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>Warning</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<h3 id="dialog-msg">
Dialog test
</h3>
<a href="#" data-role="button" id="close-button">
Close dialog
</a>
</div>
</div>
Also if possible you should open dialog box like this:
$.mobile.changePage('#dialog-box', {transition: 'pop', role: 'dialog'});
In case you are dynamically changing dialogbox content you must trigger pagecreate on it to restyle it correctly:
$('#dialog-box').trigger("pagecreate");
And here's a full jsFiddle example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/fXzWj/

Showing and Hiding a form as a dialog with toggle() is non-standard. The jQuery Mobile dialog is designed to show or hide a page <div data-role="page"> container. As such, it is assumed to be outside of the current page and won't be visible until displayed as a dialog.

"Any page can be presented as a modal dialog by adding the data-rel="dialog" attribute to the page anchor link"

How to link Internal Pages in Jquery mobile?

What to do if i want to link two internal pages on the click of a button using jquery or javascript...
i can do it using <a href=#nextPage"> in HTML but i want a script to do it! what i am doing right now is:
<!-- first page-->
<div data-role="page" id="firstPage">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>Test page</h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<p>this page will link internal pages using # </p>
change to next page
</div>
</div>
<!-- second page-->
<div data-role="page" id="nextPage">
<div data-role="header">
<h1>Test page 2 </h1>
</div>
<div data-role="content">
<p>this page will appear after you click the button on first page. </p>
</div>
</div>
this is doing good, but what i need is a script to link them. as in my app i need to change the page on click of button only after certain conditions met. but i dont know how to do it...
-----------Edit------------
I found out a way
window.location.href="#nextPage"
this is how its done.
Thanks all for your effort..

You can add onclick handler to the a tag:
JS
function navigate() {
if (condition) {
$.mobile.changePage("#nextPage");
}
}
HTML
change to next page
OR you can do this:
JS
$(document).ready(function() {
$(".nav-nextPage").click(function() {
if (condition) {
$.mobile.changePage("#nextPage");
}
});
});
HTML
change to next page
