onhashchange with IE 9

Question

I have the following code

$(document).ready(function() {
   if (\"onhashchange\" in window) {
      alert(\"The browser supports the hashchange event!\");
           


        

Answer 1

See this: link

Does the browser support window.onhashchange?

Note that IE8 running in IE7 compatibility mode reports true for 'onhashchange' in window, even though the event isn't supported, so also test document.documentMode.

var docmode = document.documentMode;
if ('onhashchange' in window && (docmode === undefined || docmode > 7 )) {
    window.onhashchange = checkHash;
}
