When reading window.location.hash in Javascript characters are not URL decoded as they are in other browsers. For example, trying to split #this|two|three when it is #this%7Ctwo%7Cthree fails in WebKit, but works fine in other browsers. 632 1 mrowe 2007-09-11 12:57:42 -0700 To reproduce: 1. Visit http://www.google.com.au/#%7C 2. Enter javascript:alert(location.hash) in the address bar. Safari displays '#%7C'. Camino displays '#|'. 633 2 mrowe 2007-09-11 12:58:16 -0700 <rdar://problem/5474669> 327094 3 jhanssen 2010-12-27 12:37:08 -0800 The Mozilla people seems to think that their behavior (urldecoding window.location.hash) is a bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483304. Also, Opera does not urldecode this. 717804 4 barraclough 2012-09-11 18:42:37 -0700 Based on Jan Erik Hanssen's comment, plus teh fact we match Opera & Chrome, looks like our behaviour is correct.
