Hi,
A page I have shows a different background colour depending on the
hash portion of the url as it is first loaded. For example a link to
mysite/mypage#0000FF would result in a page with a blue background. But
another link, this one to mysite/mypage#FF0000, would not give me a red
background if directed to the window where mypage#0000FF was loaded
just one moment ago. This is normally to be expected, because the browser
thinks same page, no load event, basta.
If I use the search portion, for obvious reasons, that is treated a new page
load, even when it is from the cache, but I need the hash here. So how do I
detect in mypage the moment when the hash string is changed by a user click
event on another page in another window, perhaps even from another domain?
Hope this is clear, thanks for any ideas,
Thomas
