hash Property

.NET Framework 3.0

Sets or retrieves the subsection of the href property that follows the number sign (#).

Syntax

HTML N/A
Scripting [ sHash = ] object.hash

Possible Values

sHash String that specifies or receives the part of the URL following the number sign (#).

The property is read/write. The property has no default value.

DHTML expressions can be used in place of the preceding value(s). As of Internet Explorer 8, expressions are supported in IE7 Standards mode and IE5 (Quirks) mode only. For more information, see About Dynamic Properties and Defining Document Compatibility.

Remarks

    if (document.location.hash == "")
        return false;
    return true;
