Question

We have the following javascript:

<script type="text/javascript">
    try {
        if (typeof jQuery === 'function') {
            jQuery(document).ready(function() {
                if (document.URL.indexOf('http://test.com/browse/ID-2007') === 0) {
                    jQuery('#test').hide();
                }
            });
    }
    } catch(err) {}
</script>

How to fix the script so that jQuery('#test').Hide(); performed wherever ID > 2007

Answer 1

If the part of the URL leading up to the ID is always the same, you could just remove that part, parse the remaining part into a number and check it:

var id = parseInt(document.URL.replace('http://test.com/browse/ID-', ''), 10);

if (id > 2007) {
   // Do your thing
}

If more complex matching is needed, the string.replace() method can take a regular expression to use for matching as well.
