How to intercept window.location change
I need a way to attach some pre-processing to each assignment of the window.location. Is there a way to do this. I basically need to serialize some info, that will be used in the new location.
You can use the beforeunload
event to trigger your code to run prior to navigation... If you need something more specific (e.g., only navigations initiated in your code), then I recommend that you factor out code changing window.location
into a separate function, and add a hook for your custom logic.
You may want to look at Ben Nadel's post in regard to doing this, it may be exactly what you're looking for
Binding Events to non DOM objects with jQuery
His example in the post talks about creating an event handler that triggers a change event when window.location
changes
