jQuery Mobile getting popout to open on page load

Question

I am using the new pop out features for JQM. Launching the popout via a button click is straightforward but how can I get the popout to launch on page load?

JQM docs say you can do initialise the popout via:

$( "#myPopupDiv" ).popup( "open" )

I tried this by using the code below but can't get it to work.

$(document).bind("mobileinit", function(){
$( "#myPopupDiv" ).popup( "open" )
});

Here is a working demo using video in the popout and a button to launch it.

If someone could help make this launch on page load it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I had the same problem and googled a bit. I found that you asked the question on the jQuery-forum as well and got an answer:

For others with the same problem:
The key seems to be to open the popup during the pageshow event. It works for me.
