in jquery mobile when press to reload the
<button data-icon=“arrow-d” data-iconpos=“left” id=“newsButton”
does not… only load with:

$(document).ready(function(e) {
    $("newsButton").on("click", function(event, ui) {
		news();
	});
	
        news();
		loadDB();	
});


	<div data-role="header"
			data-position="fixed"
			data-id="vs_header">
		<h1>News/Events - Polis</h1>

        <a href="#" data-rel="back" data-icon="arrow-l" data-iconpos="left">Back</a>
        <a href="#home0" data-icon="home" data-iconpos="notext">Home</a>
	</div>
	<div data-role="content">
	  <button data-icon="arrow-d" data-iconpos="left" id="newsButton" data-theme="b">Load News/Events/Announcements</button>	
<div id="newsFeed">
    	</div>		
	</div>



  function news() {
    var url = "announcements.php";
	
	
   $('#newsFeed').html(spinner).load(url, function(responseTxt, statusTxt, xhr) {

    if(statusTxt=="error")
      $('#newsFeed').html("Error: "+xhr.status+": "+xhr.statusText+". Check your Internet Connection, is Required!");
  });

   e.preventDefault();
}

Is “newsButton” a tag or an Id?
i.e. shouldn’t the selector be
$(“#newsButton”).on(“click”, function(event, ui) {
