Get the hashchange event to work in all browsers (including IE7)

Question

I have some code (written by another developer) that is doing AJAX page loading inside of WordPress (e.g. no page reloads) when you click a nav item, AJAX refreshes the primary

Answer 1

attachEvent takes on two params:

bSuccess = object.attachEvent(sEvent, fpNotify)

[And is needed for all versions of IE below IE9! :( See MDN reference ]

This could work:

if(window.addEventListener) {
    window.addEventListener("hashchange", hashChange, false);
}
else if (window.attachEvent) {
    window.attachEvent("onhashchange", hashchange);//SEE HERE...
    //missed the on. Fixed thanks to @Robs answer.
}

Of course if it is possible, you should just use JQuery, since it encapsulates all this for your.

And as always there is a plugin out there: http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-hashchange-plugin/
