When is the scroll event fired when a page is loading?

If I go to a page with a hash tag, e.g http://www.wired.com/#spack4, I notice that the page loads and then jumps down to the id spack4. I'd like to attach a Javascript function for when it jumps down. Is there a DOM event that triggers this?

What are you trying to do?

Maybe you could use the window.pageYoffset property to check if the document is or is not at the top:

function isTopOfPage() {
    var yPosition = window.pageYOffset;

    if(yPosition == 0) {
        //top of page
        return true;
    }
    else if(yPosition > 0) {
    // not at the top of the page
        return false;
    }
}

You can then call this function onload.
