I suggest to add an onchange event to the window.location object so that changes to the hash value may be recognized. 34493 2 mjs 2010-04-04 07:24:33 +0000 (In reply to comment #1) > When several bookmarks of a page are stored, all pointing to different anchors > in that same document, it's currently impossible to get a notion about one of > the bookmarks having been selected. > > I suggest to add an onchange event to the window.location object so that > changes to the hash value may be recognized.
