jQuery to trigger event through query string

Question

I have two separate jQuery functions that allow a user to toggle a div's visibility. By defualt, the divs will be in their closed state. I'm trying to figure out a way to set up links to this page that will open a specific div based on an ID passed to the query string. My jQuery looks like this:

    jQuery(document).ready(function(){

   //make first div always open

    jQuery(".toggle_container:not(:first)").hide(); 
    jQuery(".toggle_container:first").show();
    jQuery("h6.trigger:first").addClass("active");

    jQuery("h6.trigger").click(function(){
      jQuery(this).toggleClass("active");
      jQuery(this).next(".toggle_container").slideToggle(300);
    });

    //The second function

    jQuery(function(){
        jQuery(".toggleIt").click(function(){
          jQuery(this).next(".hiddenText").slideToggle("fast"); 
            jQuery(this).html(function(i,html) {
                if (html.indexOf('+') != -1 ){
                   html = html.replace('+','-');
                } else {
                   html = html.replace('-','+');
                }
                return html;
            })
        });
    }); 

HTML

<h6 class="trigger" id='uniqueID"></h6>
 <div class="toggle_container">
TEST
</div>

//and the second toggled container
 <p class="toggleThis tips" id="AnotherID">+</p>
<div class="hiddenText2">
Another TEST
</div>

I'd like to add an ID to the query string of a url and have it open the hidden div with the same ID. I have it structured like this so far...

var category = getParameterByName('cat');
var id = getParameterByName('id');

if(id)
{

}
else if(category)
{

}
else
{
    //moving this in here 
    jQuery(".toggle_container:not(:first)").hide(); 
    jQuery(".toggle_container:first").show();
    jQuery("h6.trigger:first").addClass("active");
}

I'm getting stuck on this part. Any tips?

Are you using PHP or another language to create the HTML?.. I would create a hidden field, populated with the query variable, and use the onLoad to open the div if the field has been populated.
