jquery - ajax application - multiple hashes?

So some web apps I've made have little "features" of ajax. Simple things usually, so I've only ever needed one hash (e.g. example.com/products#shirts).

Need slider that can increment exponentially (not using range)

At the moment I am using jQuery UI's slider to allow people to select a donation amount.

How do Flex developers coordinate with designers?

I've usually designed Flex applications myself but this time I'll need a designer to assist with skinning the application.
