Find the “#” character in a string with Javascript

Question

I need to parse the given urls via Javascript but I\'m not able to use .split() to accomplish to this.

IE:

  var str = window.location.pathname;
  var su         


        

Answer 1

Use window.location.hash, it gives you that portion broken out.

Also, you're trying to "split" on the # character which won't be found in window.location.pathname, only window.location.hash--unless you use window.location and search the entire url.

Answer 2

You are looking for location.hash. It contains the # itself and everything that comes after it.

Answer 3

You need to use location.hash property

Answer 4

if jquery is an option, try the https://github.com/allmarkedup/jQuery-URL-Parser example

var url = $.url('"http://mydomain.com/myaddress/page/2/#lookforme');
alert(url.attr('fragment'));
