Description

Opera 11.1 and 11.5 (maybe more subversions) support onhashchange, but only via the window.onhashchange property, not via window.addEventListener.

I suggest we add a special handling for this event, just like we do for onbeforeunload.

You may close this as "invalid". The addEventListener is working in Opera 11.x fine. It wasn't working because my sample code omitted the third argument (usually "false") to addEventListener.

Opera doesn't give any feedback that it is required, just silently fails. Either way, as far as jQuery is concerned this is not a bug and the situation is fixed by simply passing false as the third argument (or using jQuery to begin with, in which case that wouldn't happen).
