Can a page with different content be displayed if the hash of the URL changes?

Question

How can a page display different content based on a URL hash?

I'm not talking about scrolling the browser to display the anchored section, but something like JavaScript responding to this hash and loading other content through AJAX.

Is this common or even likely?

Answer 1

Oh yes - it is becoming a common template for managing persistence of page-status-URLs when content is managed by AJAX.

Javascript window.location.hash. ,

• /
• AJAX
• ..

// test all possible places hash could be on different browsers
if(window.location.hash){
   hash = window.location.hash;
} else if (document.location.hash){
   hash = document.location.hash;
} else if (location.hash){
   hash = location.hash;
}

// some browsers start the hash with #, remove it for consistency
if(hash.substring(0,1) == '#'){
    hash = hash.substring(1,hash.length);
}

: http://www.example.com#pageA

if(hash = 'pageA'){
  document.getElementById('mainContentDiv').innerHTML = '<p> content for the page displayed when the hash sais pageA</p>';
