Question

How can I execute a Javascript function when a link to an anchor is used?

I have this anchor:

<a id="localizacao" onClick="toogleShow('local')">Click here to show hidden content</a>

The user can click on this anchor to show hidden content but I would like to automatically show the content when the user clicks this link that is in another page:

<a href="info.html#localizacao"><img src="dcc.png" alt="Localização" title="Localização"></a>

You can use window.onhashchange^MDN

window.onload = checkHash;       // page load
window.onhashchange = checkHash; // local click

function checkHash () {  
    if (location.hash === '#localizacao') {  
        toogleShow('local'); // <-- do stuff here  
    }  
}
