I want to add an alert("some text") message after document.location.href or some kind of related code.

ex:

document.location.href = "http://www.msn.com";
windows.alert("You are now at msn.com");

By the moment I use document.location.href I automatically switch site so the rest of the code isn't being done. So I would like to know if there is an other way to switch site on the same page/ not on the same page and after that put my custom code and it will be executed accordingly?

    you can only execute YOUR code on YOUR page. can you go to someone else's page and use your code? no. – PlantTheIdea Mar 28 '13 at 22:14
  • Unless you have control over the new page, you can't do this. I think the closest you can come is to open the new page in a different window and then do your alert in your page's window. – atw13 Mar 28 '13 at 22:14

    Imagine someone doing this, but instead of `msn.com`, they redirect you to your bank's website and change the login form so that it sends your password to a remote server. Browsers don't allow this to happen. – Blender Mar 28 '13 at 22:14

    [`window.onbeforeunload`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/window.onbeforeunload)? – Teemu Mar 28 '13 at 22:27

Use the haschange event:

$(window).on('hashchange', function() {
  // your code here
});
