Mad props. Works on my Android 2.2 Galaxy S. May I get permission to use this in a jQuery Mobile project I am working on? I need to detect if the user clicked on the back arrow on an iOS or Android device. This is great work that you did. Mad props. Works on my Android 2.2 Galaxy S.

I am developing something for the mobile and hence all are WebKit based browsers (iPhone & Android). The timer thing makes me nervous and this page can go in the background for ages. Hence I was looking for a way to not use the timer based way. Do you know if there is a method which works on Safari without the timer? It can use jquery too if it helps since I use it anyways for some other things we are doing. Agreed on your thought of not using jQuery when not needed.

There is however a watch setup for the hash in Safari/Chrome as the iframe hack isnt supported. The code provided also does not use jQuery, which would make things easier, but there is no need to include all of jQuery when its not needed The main reason for not using the hash is just to have less visible impact for customers.
