jquery #hash automatic function onload..

Question

Hi I'm trying to recreate the effect like on SO where you click a comment, and the page loads, and the given comments background fades out.

so far I have

    var theHash = window.location.hash;
    $(theHash).hover(function() {
    $(this).stop().animate({ backgroundColor: "#a7bf51"}, 800);
    },function() {
    $(this).stop().animate({ backgroundColor: "#ffffff" }, 800);
    });

which works fine on a hover, but i would like this to be done automatically when the page is ready.

is there an event for this, rather than using "hover"? thanks

Answer 1

Is this what you're looking for?

$(document).ready(function(){
....
});

Answer 2

think i was over complicating things, this works fine for me -

$(document).ready(function(){
    var theHash = window.location.hash;
    theHash=theHash.substr(1);  
    $("#f"+theHash).css('backgroundColor',"#E47527");
    $("#f"+theHash).animate({backgroundColor: "#ffefe3" }, 2000);
});

thanks anyways !
