On - [removed].hash - Change?

Question

I am using Ajax and hash for navigation.

Is there a way to check if the window.location.hash changed like this?

http://example.com/blah

Answer 1

var page_url = 'http://www.yoursite.com/'; // full path leading up to hash;
var current_url_w_hash = page_url + window.location.hash; // now you might have something like: http://www.yoursite.com/#123

function TrackHash() {
    if (document.location != page_url + current_url_w_hash) {
        window.location = document.location;
    }
    return false;
}
var RunTabs = setInterval(TrackHash, 200);

That's it... now, anytime you hit your back or forward buttons, the page will reload as per the new hash value.
