Question

I have a question on jQuery / Ajax, I don’t know if what I want to do is ok or not, hope it is.

Anyways here’s the problem:

I have multiple hidden divs in a page, that are showed on a click of a link that has a class, the reason is so that I don”t have 30+ html pages to do.

But I have a slider on the homepage that when we click on, redirects to this page, and has to execute that show commande.

Here is my logic:

if previousUrl='index.html#cool'{
     hide '#main';
     show '#cool';
}

Is this possible ?

Thanks in advance !

Answer 1

You should not rely on previous URL.
On your homepage, you could have redirections to your specific page with a hashtag

'yourpage#div-to-show'

Then on that page, you can read the hashtag

window.location.hash; // '#div-to-show'

So you could achieve your stuff

$('.div').hide() // Assuming your divs have class="div". However you could hide divs with CSS by default.
$(window.location.hash).show()

Hope this helps
