jQuery this.hash behavior for in page anchor links

Question

I have a question about how this.hash works for in page anchor links in jQuery.

I need to process the hash attribute every time the user clicks on that link.

Answer 1

Why can't we use attr('href') - check this link

Update

Simply remove $ from $(this.hash)
