This is not the javascript answer that you want, but you could try playing around with the :target pseudo selector. For instance,

show this with #foo.
#bar shows this.

Depending on what you are trying to do, this could possibly work, but think your requirements through.

Note: Take this response with a HUGE grain of salt -- don't use it.

To answer the actual question, use the following to determine if the hash is present:

var in_hash = location.hash.slice(1) === what_you_are_looking_for;
if (in_hash) ? /* IN HASH */ : /* NOT IN HASH */;
