Question

I’m trying to get the hash parameters from an url with javascript. The strange thing is that the hash parameter is always empty (“”). i have tried many variations of code but it’s always empty.

location.hash

Example url

file:///F:/wwwroot/Default.htm#Name=front

What is it I’m missing?

Answer 1

Ok i found the answer, the javascript code was called on from inside a iframe and appertly they act just like a separate html page. I used this code to solve it.

var url = window.parent.location.hash;
