jQuery: unrecognized expression

Question

$(document).ready(function(){

    var page = window.location.hash;
    if(page != \"\"){
        $(\'a[href=\'+ page +\']\').addclass(\'selected\');
        pageloa         


        

Answer 1

Your regular expression doesn't need the speech marks:

replace(#/page/, ...

Answer 2

Try this instead:

$('a[href="'+ page +'"]').addClass('selected');

(You need to escape the value of the href – with this, you get a[href="#/page/link"].)
