Question

I have searched for this for about a week now and still cant find an answer to my question so I’m finally braking down and asking here! What I am trying to accomplish is to redirect a URL ONLY if it contains #NOTECHWORKING at the end. Notice the #. I’ve tried simple redirects but nothing is working with the # included.

This is what I have tried with no success:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} #NOTECHWORKING  
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.mydomain.com/chatclosed.html [L]

This:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} #NOTECHWORKING 
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.mydomain.com/chatclosed.html [L]

And Also:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} #NOTECHWORKING 
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.mydomain.com/chatclosed.html [L]

If this needs to be done in Javascript, I would have no clue how to accomplish this!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It can be done by using JavaScript. to apply the command by using back/next buttons:

window.onhashchange = function() {
    var h=window.location.hash;
    if(h.substr(1) == 'NOTECHWORKING') window.location.replace("http://www.mydomain.com/chatclosed.html");
};
