jquery/javascript access querystring/path

Question

I've got a couple of tabs on my page and I'd like the switching between them to be back-button-able

My idea was to let the tab-buttons link through to #tab1 and #tab2, and then let jquery pick up the #tabX and show/hide the relevant tab.

Is this possible? How can i get access to the #whatever in the url from jquery/javascript?

Thanks

Andrew

You're looking for

location.hash

You might also save a lot of time by looking at this jquery history plugin. Good luck!
