Get a # value in javascript

Question

I have some links and when you click on them it navigates to: foo.com/about.php#about2 andfoo.com/about.php#about1

How can I get the #about1 or about2 in Javascript, so if it is #about1 display the content relative to that div, and if it is #about2 display that?

Thanks for your help.

why do you want to use that? Thats pretty much only used in client side stuff. — Jan Dragsbaek

@JanDragsbaek It is isn't it :). I got two different questions mixed up :P — H Bellamy

@TimPost No, it didn't. Revision 1 is already edited. I am very sure that I got here through the PHP tag and that tag isn't present in the history, so it is definitely edited. — NikiC
