jQuery: Check if hash contains

rated 0 times [ 63] [ 3] / answers: 1 / hits: 16297 / 11 Years ago, sun, november 10, 2013, 12:00:00

I'm looking to try and check if the hash in the url contains a certain value before proceeding, I have a function that works like so:

$(window).load(function () {

    var hash = window.location.hash,

        number = $(hash).index(),

        width = 403,

        final = width * number;

        setTimeout(function () {

        $('.news-inner-wrap').animate({

            'marginLeft': -= + final + px

        });

        }, 1000);

});

So if the hash is www.website.com/#news-item-03 it will slide the user horizontally along to the 3rd news story, this works great!. I only want this function to fire though if the hash contains news-item obviously the number after each will change, but if the hash begins with news-item then I want the function above to be fired, I'm not even sure it this is at all possible, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

No need for jQuery, this should work nicely

 if (window.location.hash) {

     if (window.location.hash.indexOf('news-item') == 1) { // not 0 because # is first character of window.location.hash

         // it's at the start

     }

     else if (window.location.hash.indexOf('news-item') != -1) {

         // it's there, but not at the start

     }

     else {

         // not there

     }

 }
