For mobile control: https://jsfiddle.net/Limitlessisa/axt1Lqoz/show/

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('body').on('click touch', '#share', function(e) {
    $('.share').fadeIn();
  });
});

// geri butonunu yakalama
window.onhashchange = function(e) {
  var oldURL = e.oldURL.split('#')[1];
  var newURL = e.newURL.split('#')[1];

  if (oldURL == 'share') {
    $('.share').fadeOut();
    e.preventDefault();
    return false;
  }
  //console.log('old:'+oldURL+' new:'+newURL);
}

.share{position:fixed; display:none; top:0; left:0; width:100%; height:100%; background:rgba(0,0,0,.8); color:white; padding:20px;
