I use Request.QueryString["var"] to pull the value of http://test.com/test.aspx?var=test into a string

the same thing doesn't work for test.aspx#var=test

how can I get it from that version of a querystring?

The Fragment Identifier (#) is client-side only, you can't get that from server side code.

Nitpick: It's called Fragment Identifier, not "hash value". :-)
Well you access it with location.hash so that's why I called it that, my bad ;)

#var=test is not q query string. That's part of the "URL Fragment". In a URL to a web page, it indicates which <a> tag to go to.

I don't think the part of the url after the # is passed to the web server directly. To access it you would need to do some javascript processing to pass it on.

oh i see, i'm trying to set the div style properties of a block differently depending on what's in that #var variable, javascript would be the way to go instead you think?
Yes. That should be easy using a jquery script.
ok i guess i'll go look for one, never used jquery i'm a novice. if you have time and care to link me to something relevant that'd be awesome, otherwise thanks
Sure! jQuery takes some getting used to so you should read the getting started intro here: docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Getting_Started_with_jQuery Then you may want to look at this jQuery add on for url parsing: projects.allmarkedup.com/jquery_url_parser
