how to combine jquery code into a javascript function

Question

I need to add a jquery script into a javascript function and then call that function when #sortby is added to the url. Is this possible?

the jQuery

$("#myselect option[value='availability']").attr("selected","selected");

the Javascript

function sortBy(){
    performanceQuery(perfpage);
    tourQuery(tourpage);
    return false;
}

I'm not sure what the problem is. jQuery is valid javascript, so there is not issue whatsoever in mixing the two. Also, presumably, "when #sortby is added to link" -> you mean that someone clicks on a link with that achor tag? This is a simple click event. I would suggest to check docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:How_jQuery_Works as this is basic jQuery stuff. — Flater

$(window).on('hashchange', function() {
    if (document.location.hash == '#sortby') sortBy();
});

function sortBy(){
    $("#myselect option[value='availability']").prop("selected", true);
    performanceQuery(perfpage);
    tourQuery(tourpage);
    return false;
}

jQuery is just a Javascipt library that provides some new functions (yes, this $ is just a funky name of a variable containing function). You can use it wherever you want.
