Question

I am looking to use jquery to search for a certain string that gets tagged onto the end of the page url after a user submits a form.

The url looks like

https://somerandomsite.com/?page_id=1423#wpcf7-f1448-p1423-o1

The only part of the string that stays consistent is the “wpcf7” so I am looking to target that with jquery and if it finds it run some code. Maybe use window.location.pathname somehow.

Any help would be much appreciated.

============================================

I got it everyone, thanks for your help. I don’t think I was very clear in explaining the problem so I apologize.

if(document.location.hash.substr(1,5) === 'wpcf7'){
$('#formalert').css('display', 'block');

Answer 1

That part is called the hash and is referenced as:

location.hash

This includes the # character itself, so you have to skip that:

location.hash.substr(1)

To get the first part behind it:

location.hash.substr(1).split('-')[0]

Update

The final condition would be this:

if (document.location.hash.substr(1).split('-')[0] === 'wpcf7') {
    // do whatever
}
