pageshow event on Safari

Question

I have the following simple JavaScript, which I require in order to re-initialise some variables on page reload, specifically when the page is served from the Safari BFCache

Answer 1

I appeared to have solved the issue by instead binding to the popstate event:

jQuery(window).bind('popstate', function(event) {
    // Do some initialisation here
});

which fires whenever the active history entry changes. This appears to fire consistently rather than just once, so achieves the goal of performing re-initialisation whenever a user lands on page, regardless of the mechanism for getting there.
