jQuery mobile, reload page on a button click, page not behaving as expected on load

I have a simple application so far that consists of a homepage and a second page. Once requested by the user, a button on the homepage will load the second page via

$.mobile.changePage( "#map-page"); 

On the second page, i am using WebSQL to save the data and such, and once again upon user request, a button loads the homepage again via

function saveInfo() {
     navigator.notification.alert(
           'All information has been saved',  // message
           alertDismissed,         // callback
           'Saving',            // title
           'Done'                  // buttonName
      );
}

function alertDismissed() {
     $.mobile.changePage( "#page1", {
          reloadPage:true
     });
 } 

Whilst this does redirect to the homepage, it doesn't seem to "reload" it, as the functions on that page dont work and there is a map that doesn't load which is set to, on the page loading.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions regarding this issue?

I would like it to essentially return to the homepage as if the user has just opened the application, ie, the back button wouldn't take them back to the previous page?
