Question

<script type="text/javascript">
if (location.href.indexOf("#") != -1) {
    // Your code in here accessing the string like this
    // location.href.substr(location.href.indexOf("#"))
    alert('hello');
}
</script>

I found this script in another answer. Is there a way for me to use the

("#") != myParameter) 

So if the hash meets my parameter do something.

Thank you.

Do this:

if(location.hash.substr(1) == myParameter)
  //Do something

This takes the hash, chops off the “#”, and compares it to myParameter.
You could also compare directly to a string:

if(location.hash.substr(1) == "string_here")
  //Do something

If you want the “#” when comparing, use location.hash instead of location.hash.substr(1).
