[FIXED] How do I get the fragment identifier (value after hash #) from a URL?

Issue

Example:

www.site.com/index.php#hello

Using jQuery, I want to put the value hello in a variable:

var type = …

Solution

No need for jQuery

var type = window.location.hash.substr(1);

---

Since String.prototype.substr is deprecated use substring instead.

var type = window.location.hash.substring(1);
