Simple haschange event
First of and maybe a bit off-topic. The is this feature in all modern browsers now: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/window.onhashchange and the support is good: http://caniuse.com/hashchange

Then the function. Perosnally I would use an anonymous function without storing it in a var first. I would pass in the hs 'unparsed' and simply pass the hash to the function instead of an array. It is snipplet that checks or the hash changes and should thus not be concerned on what the symbols in the hash mean.

Also, instead of using the setTimeOut and calling it allover your code. Simply use the setInterval function.
