Question

I am really stuck and was wondering if someone could lend a hand please,

i know how to get a query string, thats not a problem,

however,
I have links that use jquery to fade out the content and load the new content via links,

usage example below – class=”link2″ is a reference for the jquery to do what it does lol

<a href=”#?id=2″ class=”link2″>click here</a>

in the href i have to have the # first to stop the page from loading if you get what i mean,

now when i try and get the query string id=2 it says none as there is a # first, there is probably a simple fix for this but i must just be missing it,
i have searched and searched but still cant find the answer

———————-edit——————————
this is what i am trying to do,

enter page,
sql query runs to display all the reports
click a report and the jquery hides “contmain” and shows “contreports” now a new sql query runs to display the report based on the “id”

now usually i can just get this information from the url and clean it up, hovever as i have jquery running i need to have the “#” for the href so the page does not reload and the jquery can run, but now this is stopping me from being able to retrieve the url query,

Although i don’t fully understand what you’re doing, i’m guessing it would be better to store your querystring as a data attribute.

<a href="#" data-id="2" class="link2">click here</a> 

Then in your jQuery function.

$('.link2').click(function(e){
    var queryString = $(this).data('id'); 
    e.preventDefault();   // prevent the default action
});
