Calling a jquery mobile function from an external js file

Question

I have written an exernal js file and in it is one function. In this function I am trying to call $.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg(); How would I do this? I have tried the following and it doesnt work:

function test() {
     $.mobile.showPageLoadingMsg();
}

The order of script inclusion on the html is shown below:

<script src="jquery.mobile-1.1.1.min.js"></script>

<script src="jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>

<script src="cordova-2.0.0.js"></script>

<script src="master.js"></script>

and master.js is the one that makes the call.

If you see the javascript console, do you see any error? Have you used the file AFTER the jquery mobile library inclusion? — Aurelio De Rosa

This means that you have included your external file BEFORE the inclusion of the jquery mobile js — Aurelio De Rosa

I have edited the question. Is that what you mean by BEFORE the inclusion of the jquery mobile js? Because I still get the error after changing the order of <script> tags. — Teererai Marange

You have to load the jQuery library before the jQuery mobile library.
