<div id="myViewStack">
	<div> container 1 </div>
	<div> container 2 </div>
	<div> container 3 </div>
</div>

Creating a view stack:

//creating a view stack (defaults the view index to 0)
$("#myViewStack").viewstack();

Setting the selected index property:

//passing the selectedIndex as a param
$("#myViewStack").viewstack({
	selectedIndex : 1
});

//or use the options param
$("#myViewStack").viewstack("option", "selectedIndex", 1);

Listening for a creation complete event

$("#myViewStack").viewstack({
	creationComplete : function(e, data) {
		console.log(data.selectedIndex);
	}
})

Listening for selected index change event

$("#myViewStack").viewstack({
	selectedIndexChange : function( e, data ){
		console.log(data.selectedIndex);
	}
});

Get the total number of view stack children

$("#myViewStack").viewstack("getChildrenCount");
