Simple non-secure hash function for JavaScript

Question

Possible Duplicate    Generate a Hash from string in Javascript jQuery       Can anyone suggest a simple  i e  tens of lines of code  not hundreds of lines  hash function written in  browser-compatible  JavaScript   Ideally I d like something that  when passed a string as input  produces something similar to the 32 character hexadecimal string that s the typical output of MD5  SHA1  etc   It doesn t have to be cryptographically secure  just reasonably resistant to collisions    My initial use case is URLs  but I ll probably want to use it on other strings in the future

There are many realizations of hash functions written in JS. For example:

If you don't need security, you can also use base64 which is not hash-function, has not fixed output and could be simply decoded by user, but looks more lightweight and could be used for hide values: http://www.webtoolkit.info/javascript-base64.html

I didn t verify this myself  but you can look at this JavaScript implementation of Java s String hashCode   method  Seems reasonably short      With this prototype you can simply call  hashCode   on any string  e g   some string  hashCode    and receive a numerical hash code  more specifically  a Java equivalent  such as 1395333309    String prototype hashCode   function         var hash   0      if  this length    0            return hash            for  var i   0  i  lt  this length  i              var char   this charCodeAt i           hash     hash lt  lt 5 -hash  char          hash   hash  amp  hash     Convert to 32bit integer           return hash
