jQuery mobile: panel open not triggered after page navigation

Question

I am creating a mobile website using jQuery mobile (1.3).

In this site I'm using a panel for my menu, which get activated by the 'bars' button in the top left of the screen or by swiping from left to right (on desktops; click and move mouse to the right).

This all is working fine until I navigate to a different page. The new page loads using the jQuery mobile AJAX function, in the console.log my panel div is logged so I know it's there but the .panel('open') function is not triggered.

I tried making my links 2 different ways with no luck:

<a href="?controller=website&action=algemeenInvoer">Algemene invoer</a>
<a href="#" onclick="$.mobile.changePage('?controller=website&action=algemeenInvoer', { transition:'slideup'} );">Algemene invoer, using mobile.changePage</a>

Since I use php I can't create a simple JSFiddle demonstrating the problem but here is a link to my dev page: snip

I hope someone can help me fix this problem and my .panel('open') is triggered after page navigation.

EDIT: Current swipe function:

$(document).on('pageinit',function(){
    $('div[data-role="content"]').on("swiperight",function(){
        console.log($('#menu'));

        //open panel after swiped x px.
        $.event.special.swipe.horizontalDistanceThreshold = 80;
        $('#menu').panel("open");
    });
});

It's working normally. What's the problem exactly and how do you open it? Tested on iPad and iPhone. — Omar, May 12 '13 at 17:38
when entering the site it's working fine. Try to navigate to a different page you'll see that when the page is loaded the swipe action won't active the panel. pushing the bars icon on top left however is. — Jeroen V Leusden, May 12 '13 at 18:06
Don't bind it to pageinit as it trigger once, that's it. Just remove pageinit function and leave the rest. — Omar, May 12 '13 at 18:32

You need to change your page logic.

When new page is opened it is just another page loaded into the DOM. But when you try to open a panel inside a second page it will try to open a first page panel because they have the same.

I have tested this on your page and it is working:

$.mobile.activePage.find('#menu').panel("open");

All you need is the code inside pageinit, as the last fires once only.

$('div[data-role="content"]').on("swiperight",function(){
 var activepage = '#' + $.mobile.activePage[0].id;
 $.event.special.swipe.horizontalDistanceThreshold = 80;
 $('activepage #menu').panel("open");
});
