javascript - Is there an event that fires when a browser scrolls to a named anchor?

Question

When linking to a page using a named anchor e.g. page.html#heading the browser will load the page, then jump down to the anchor. Is there a browser event that fires when this has completed?

To explain my reasons behind it: I want to use the event to trigger an animation in the browser.

Many thanks.

Changing the hash triggers the hashchange event.

However, I don't think it fires when loading a url where the link already has the hash set. But you can check the hash (location.hash) on page load if you want a certain script to run depending on the hash.
