Question

How can I trigger a function when the URL changes? I try something like:

$(windows.location).change(function(){
   //execute code
});

So my URL is something like http://www.mysite.com/index.html#/page/1. How can I execute jQuery or JavaScript code when the URL becomes something like http://www.mysite.com/index.html#/page/2?

That would be a hashchange event, so I’d suggest:

$(window).on('hashchange', function(e){
    // do something...
});
