I want to find the names #prices and make an if statment

if( the_last_name == 'prices' ) 
// do something

I need js/jquery to find a way to get urls last name ( and check it on the if statment /the_last_name)

Answer 1

Use this:

document.location.hash

eg:

if (document.location.hash == "#prices") {

Answer 2

Better, use this:

if (document.location.hash.substr(1) == "prices") {

so you don't have the '#' in your string.
