jQuery removing hash value from URL
original
It depends on what the hash value does. If it just moves the document down to #a1
, you just need to set scrollTop
to 0 after document has been loaded probably.
edit
looking on other stackoverflow questions,
parent.location.hash = ''
should do it, but maybe reloads the page (you have to test it)
Other than that, I advice you to handle it during/before your AJAX calls - i.e.
if (hash != 'a1'){ doAjax(); } //pseudocode obviously.
edit 2 with code based on posted code
Or, if you just need to call AJAX with url
without hash, you can delete it in string, that calls the jQuery, no?
var $tabValue = $(this).attr('href');var $withoutHash = $tabValue.substr(0,$tabValue.indexOf('#'));
we basically get a's href
before first #
This might be helpful to someone asking the same question, how to pull the data following a # in a href.
this.hash.slice(1);
This will give #123 as 123.
Edit: I should probably note, if you're going to be calculating numbers from this data, best to use parseInt(this.hash.slice(1));
or else you'll get funky results.
