hashchange

Please consider the following two domains: domain1.com and domain2. From domain1 I open an iframe that points to domain2. Now, I want these guys to communicate with each other, which I've successfully accomplished by applying hash change event listeners on both domains. That way, the hash in the parent window (domain1) will trigger if domain2 calls parent.location with a new hash. Also, the hash change event triggers in the iframe if I from the parent changes its src attribute to a new hash. This works great! Here comes the trouble: The back and forward functionality in the browser gets messed

I've been looking around JQuery libraries for the URL hash, but found none that were good. There is the "history plugin", but we all know it's buggy and isn't flexible. I am loading my pages inside a div. I'll need a way to do back/forward along with the url hashing. mydomain.com/#home mydomain.com/#aboutus mydomain.com/#register What's the best library that can handle all of this? I recently looked at 3 different plugins - jquery history plugin , history , and jQuery BBQ . They were all quite hard to setup, I did get jQuery.history working but it still had problems with IE7. So I changed to

I'm writing a simple photo album app using ASP.NET Ajax. The app uses async Ajax calls to pre-load the next photo in the album, without changing the URL in the browser. The problem is that when the user clicks the back button in the browser, the app doesn't go back to the previous photo, instead, it navigates to the home page of the application. Is there a way to trick the browser into adding each Ajax call to the browsing history? balupton Update: There is now the HTML5 History API (pushState, popState) which deprecates the HTML4 hashchange functionality. History.js provides cross-browser

I am using: $(window).bind( 'hashchange', function(e) { }); to bind a function to the hash change event. This seems to work in IE8, Firefox and Chrome, but not in Safari and I assume not in earlier version of IE. For these browsers, I want to disable my JavaScript code that uses the hash and hashchange event. Is there a way with jQuery that i can detect if the browser supports the hashchange event? Maybe something with jQuery.support ... You can detect if the browser supports the event by: if ("onhashchange" in window) { //... } See also: Detecting event support without browser sniffing

How can I write the JavaScript callback code that will be executed on any changes in the URL anchor? For example from http://example.com#a to http://example.com#b Google Custom Search Engines use a timer to check the hash against a previous value, whilst the child iframe on a seperate domain updates the parent's location hash to contain the size of the iframe document's body. When the timer catches the change, the parent can resize the iframe to match that of the body so that scrollbars aren't displayed. Something like the following achieves the same: var storedHash = window.location.hash;
