$(window).hashchange() doesn't work

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to use the browser back button, i understood how to catch the event with hashchange plugin =>

$(window).hashchange( function(){
    alert( location.hash );
});$(window).hashchange();

When i try to load the new page, nothing happens.. Is there a way to "reload" the page with the new url ?

Thanks !

Answer 1

Try this instead:

$(window).on('hashchange', function(){
    // Your code goes here
}).trigger('hashchange'); // bind event to the same selector as event-listener

.trigger() basicly activates events manually.

EDIT:
This should be enough for you to work.

Try this piece of code and see if you got any luck.

Included javascript.js is compressed with jquery and hashchange.

Answer 2

Put $(window).bind('hashchange', function() {}); outside of the document.ready
