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

The new hashchange event in HTML5 is supported by all current browsers; no need to fool your browser into thinking it's IE8.

This code works in IE 9, FF 5, Safari 5, and Chrome 12 on Win 7:
