Hide div if URL contains word

I need to hide a div if the url of the page contains a certain word. Thanks to this site I have been able to successfully find if the url contains the word. This code works:

<script type=text/javascript>

if (window.location.href.indexOf(Bar-Ends) != -1) {

alert(your url contains bar ends);

}

</script>

but for some reason it will not work to hide a div, like this:

<script type=text/javascript>

if (window.location.href.indexOf(Bar-Ends) != -1) {

$(#notBarEnds).hide();

}

</script>



<div id=notBarEnds>this is not bar ends</div>

Anyone have any idea what is wrong with this code?
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks

Notice the reorder:

<div id=notBarEnds>this is not bar ends</div>



<script type=text/javascript>

if (window.location.href.indexOf(Bar-Ends) != -1) {

$(#notBarEnds).hide();

}

</script>

Or

<script type=text/javascript>

$(document).ready(function () {

    if (window.location.href.indexOf(Bar-Ends) != -1) {

        $(#notBarEnds).hide();

    }

}

</script>

Waiting for the entire document to be ready
