A nitpick, I'm not really an expert on URI's but is "fragment"
really the correct name for that I would call the "hash"? That
would be "nose" in the example below.
Yes, that's the term in the standard.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragment_identifier
Javascript calls it the hash though, but it is slightly
different: the # symbol itself is not part of the fragment
according to the standard.
But javascript's location.hash does return it.
URL: example.com/
location.hash
""
location.hash = "test"
"test"
URL changes to: example.com/#test
location.hash;
"#test"
The fragment would technically just be "test" there.
