The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

hash history


Hashjax

Submitted by jeratt on January 16, 2010 - 5:56pm

A simple wrapper for the history jquery plugin

  1. Define page patterns like: nodes/{id}/view
  2. User goes to yourpage.html#nodes/42/view
  3. An element of your choice loads content (through ajax) of yourbackend.php?id=42
  4. Back button works!

The history plugin mentioned above is required.
If you want to have support for in page links (the usual function of a hash), just put them after a colon. For example: index.html#page/to/load:header-to-scroll-to. You must also include http://plugins.jquery.com/project/ScrollTo for scrolling to work.

Go to the website if you want to make sure you have the latest version.

This plugin is still buggy, and I think it doesn't work in ie6. Please comment any bugs you find.

jQuery HashChange

Submitted by chrisleishman on March 20, 2009 - 12:58am

jQuery interface to browser hashchange events, providing implementation for many browsers that do not support hashchange.

Usage is simple - just register for the hashchange event on the window:

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

Note that, unlike the jquery history plugin, a hashchange event is NOT generated on document ready - only if the hash changes after page load. In most cases it is still desirable to set state based on the initial hash, so the following pattern is useful:

$(document).ready(function() {
        $(window).hashchange(function() { updateState(location.hash) });
        updateState(location.hash);
});
