$.mobile.changepage not loading external .JS file
in jQuery Mobile

I am having a weird problem when trying to load an external JS file in a page which is loaded using $.mobile.changepage().
Following is my directory structure:
|_ /html
| |_ conflist.html
| |_ newpage.html
|_ /common
| |_ jquery-1.7.2.min.js
| |_ jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js
| |_ jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css
|_ /platform
|_ dummy.js
Here are the codes for conflist.html and newpage.html.
First, conflist.html:
Next, newpage.html:
Finally, dummy.js:
- <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>ConferenceToGo</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../common/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="../common/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="../common/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
function changePage() {
$.mobile.changePage("newpage.html", { transition: "slide" });
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="firstpage" data-role="page">
<div data-role="content">
<input type="button" onclick="changePage()" value="Change Page (JQM)" /><br />
</div><!-- /content -->
</div><!-- /page -->
</body>
</html>
Next, newpage.html:
- <!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title>ConferenceToGo</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../common/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="../common/jquery-1.7.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="../common/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="newpage" data-role="page">
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="../platform/dummy.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
console.log("Inside test_newpage.html");
var objDummy = new Dummy();
objDummy.toString("test param");
</script>
<div data-role="content">
<p>This is a new page !!</p>
</div><!-- /content -->
</div><!-- /page -->
</body>
</html>
Finally, dummy.js:
var Dummy = function () { };
Dummy.prototype.toString = function (param) {
console.log("String representation of 'Dummy', got param: " + param);
};
console.log("Loaded dummy.js");
Problem:
- If I load conflist.html (directly, using FF16.0.2 or IE9, not through a webserver), and click the button to load newpage.html using changePage(), I get an error saying: "ReferenceError: Dummy is not defined". Essentially, dummy.js is not read.
- If I move dummy.js to the same folder as the html files, and modify the path accordingly in newpage.html, things work fine and I get all the outputs.

Wondering, why do I see this behavior? Why isn't the external js file loaded when it is placed in another folder and the relative path is given? Or am I missing something else?
