Detect change of location.hash?

[akdb8r]

Is there a way for JavaScript to detect when the user changes the URL hash (location.hash)?

Thanks in advance! :)

Use a Timer with the optimum interval time.

var curHashVal = window.location.hash; //global reference
window.onload = function(){ //call the function at onLoad time.
 setInterval(1000,function(){
  if(curHashVal!=window.location.hash){ //changed
   //do some work then save the current hash value
   curHashVal = window.location.hash;
  }
 });
}
