How can I show the second page as the default page in a jQuery mobile Multi-page template structure?

<body> 
<div data-role="page" id="foo">
    <div data-role="header">
        <h1>Foo</h1>
    </div>
    <div data-role="content">   
        <p>I'm first in the source order so I'm shown as the page.</p>      
    </div>
</div>
<div data-role="page" id="home">
    <div data-role="header">
        <h1>Home</h1>
    </div>
    <div data-role="content">   
        <p>I'm the second in the source order so I'm hidden when the page loads. I'm just shown if a link that references my id is beeing clicked.</p>      
    </div>
</div>
<div data-role="page" id="bar">
    <div data-role="header">
        <h1>Bar</h1>
    </div>
    <div data-role="content">   
        <p>I'm the second in the source order so I'm hidden when the page loads. I'm just shown if a link that references my id is beeing clicked.</p>      
    </div>
</div>
</body>

Example

Working example: http://jsfiddle.net/Gajotres/UfDaf/

Code used

This part will prevent normal page load. Don't forget, like in my example mobileinit MUST be initialized before jQuery Mobile is initialized.

$(document).on("mobileinit",function() {
    $.mobile.autoInitializePage = false;
});

This part will start manual page initialization:

$(document).ready(function() {            
    window.location.hash = 'home';
    $.mobile.initializePage();
});

While I usually advise against of document ready usage here we need it to kick start the manual change.

            </div>
        </div>        
    </body>
</html>

Javascript :

$(document).ready(function() {            
    window.location.hash = 'home';
    $.mobile.initializePage();
});

I know this question is a little old but i stumbled on a simple solution:

window.location.href = "_dash.html#page-two";

or if youre navigating from a seperate page you can make a link that drops u in the second page like so:

<a href="_dash.html#page-two">link to second page</a>

Simply add the page id for the second page at the end of your url
