Encoding of window.location.hash

Viewed 18504

Does window.location.hash contain the encoded or decoded representation of the url part?

When I open the same url (http://localhost/something/#%C3%BC where %C3%BCtranslates to ü) in Firefox 3.5 and Internet Explorer 8, I get different values for document.location.hash:

  • IE8: #%C3%BC
  • FF3.5:

Is there a way to get one variant in both browsers?
