Question

I have the following code on my website, which basically checks to see if there is a hash in the URL, and if there is then it triggers a click on a tab. This works fine apart from in Chrome/Safari – any ideas how I can fix this?

jQuery(document).ready(function() {
    if(window.location.hash){ 
        $("a#viewapart").trigger('click');
    }
});

It doesn’t work if I substitute alert(‘hello’); so it is just not recognizing if(window.location.hash) for some reason.

Thanks!

You’re likely executing it before the carousel script has been initialized and bound all clicks.

$(document).ready(function() {
    if (window.location.hash){ 
        $("a#viewapart").trigger('click');
    }
    $("#slider").jcarousel();
});

You need to execute it after the carousel script is been initialized.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#slider").jcarousel();
    if (window.location.hash){ 
        $("a#viewapart").trigger('click');
    }
});
