Question

JavaScript, / jQuery determining if the URL contains a Min String

Answer 1

A:

You could replace the #/projects/ part, and see if there's anything left. If so, do something:

var hash = window.location.hash;

if (hash.indexOf('#/projects')!=-1) {
  if (hash.replace('#/projects/','').length > 0) {
    // do stuff
  }
}

Actually wait that doesn't work... because for other HASHS like #/contacts/ it would return true which is bad. It should only work for #/projects/ does that make sense?

See edit; you can first check if "#/projects" exists.

}

I want to know when it's #/projects/XXXXX meaning X is anything. So should it really be != 0? What is indexOf supposed to do here?

Sorry, I read the question the wrong way round. Fixed.

Tim Down 2010-10-03 17:27:52

Aaaah. So X is variable. Rewriting....

Tim Down 2010-10-03 17:28:26

AnApprentice 2010-10-03 17:30:05
