Question

Can you trigger click on URL with hashtag?

For example:

I have this link: <a class="contact">Contact Me</a>

and when I visit www.example.com/#contact to fire: $('a.contact').trigger('click');

Is this possible by any hacky way?

Answer 1

var hash = window.location.hash.slice(1); // get the hash, and strip out the "#"

if( hash /* && hash === 'contact' */ )  // if there was a hash
    $('a.' + hash ).trigger('click');   //    concatenate it into the selector
