jQueryMobile: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method '_trigger' of undefined

I am using jQuery Mobile with backbone.js. when i load home page i get the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method '_trigger' of undefined 

this is what i do to load home page. in routes.js:

routes:{
    '':'home',
}
home:function () {
    new HomeView();
    this.changePage(new HomeContentView());
},
changePage:function (page) {
    $(page.el).attr('data-role', 'page');
    console.log($(page.el));
    page.render();
    $('body').append($(page.el));
    var transition = $.mobile.defaultPageTransition;
    if (this.firstPage) {
        transition = 'none';
        this.firstPage = false;
    }
    $.mobile.changePage($(page.el), {changeHash:false, transition: transition});
}

in view.js

window.HomeView = Backbone.View.extend({
template : Handlebars.compile($('#home').html()),
render : function (eventname) {
    this.$el.html(this.template());
    this.header = new HeaderElement();
    this.$el.find('div.header_element').append(this.header.$el);
    this.footer = new FooterElement();
    this.$el.find('div.footer_element').append(this.footer.$el);
    return this;
}
});


window.HomeContentView = Backbone.View.extend({
    initialize: function(options) {
        this.collection = new Fan();
        this.template = Handlebars.compile(tpl.get('elements/home'));
        //~ console.log(tpl.get('home'));
        this.collection.on("reset",this.render,this);
        this.init = true;

        if (this.init) {
            upLimit = 1;
            this.collection.index();
            this.init = false;
        }
    },
    el: '#home_content_view',
    render : function (eventName) {
        var self = this;
        var js = (self.collection.toJSON())[0];
        console.log(js);

        $('#home_content_view').html(self.template(js));
        $('#home_content_view').trigger("create");
    }
});

in home.html

<div data-role="content">
hi
</div>

I think that error might be because jQuery Mobile needs an element in place to transition out on changePage. It's a hack, but putting an empty div with the data-role attribute set to 'page' in your index.html should resolve it:

<body>
    <!-- jQM seems to need a page to exist in the document before it transitions to the first dynamically generated one -->
    <div data-role="page"></div>
</body>
