Question

I have a website with a navigation bar. When a link is clicked, it uses the onClick() handler to change the content of a page.

For example. If the about us link is clicked, the page content will change to the about us content, and the URL will become xxxxx.com/#about. However, when linked directly to xxxxx.com/#about it opens the default index.php page.

How do I directly link to the pages, as if it was onClick()?

Answer 1

You need get the #something on page load, and then if it is found, call your onclick function with it.

tag = /#[^\s]+/.exec(document.location.href);
tag = tag.substring(1);
// you have what you want
