Jquery use a variable for a load query

Question

I have a variable but I can't use it the way I want, please help!!

var test = window.location.hash;
$('div').load("test.php?id="+test);

The request keeps on being :

XHR finished loading: "http://localhost/test-site/test.php?id=".

and ignores my variable...

Syntax looks right...are you sure test contains something? — tymeJV

window.location.hash will begin with a # symbol, if it contains anything at all. You should strip it by adding .substr(1). — Blazemonger

window.location.hash will begin with a # symbol, if it contains anything at all. You should strip it by adding .substr(1):

var test = window.location.hash.substr(1);
$('div').load("test.php?id="+test);

As it is, you are trying to load a url like test.php?id=#22, and since the hash is meaningless for AJAX purposes, it's being ignored by the .load method.
