I have three tabs on a page
When each tab is active, a hash is added to the url:
http://example.com/com/#latest
I am trying to add pagination fore each tab. So I was thinking of doing something like this:
http://example.com/com/#latest?p=5
But I don't know how to get the hash value by itself. Using $(location).attr('hash') returns #latest?p=5
if( $(location).attr('hash') ) {
var tab = $(location).attr('hash');
}else{
var tab = "#latest";
}
It is a JavaScript property
window.location.hash
Then you need to parse your string. If you use standard query string notation you can parse it with code from Parse query string in JavaScript
getting hash
var hash = window.location.hash;
getting latest
var active = hash.match(/\#(\w+)/)[1];
getting page number
var num = hash.match(/p=(\d+)/)[1];
There are important details overseen on the other answers:
To solve the Firefox problem, you need to read it this way:
var hashValue = decodeURI(window.location.hash);
which is also safe for the other browsers.
If you want to get the value without the initial has symbol #, you simply have to do this:
var hashValue = decodeURI(window.location.hash).substr(1);
