location.hash is a property, so you'd just get it's value then compare that.
Something like this might work:
// get the hash
var page = location.hash;
// show the correct page
$('#' + page).show();

Subject: [jQuery] Using "window.location.hash" for URLs without plugin
Hi,
I'm trying to use URL's such as 'mysite.com/#contact' that will show a
certain div.
I have my function written and working to show the div, currently being used
as "$("#a.contact").click(showContact);"
How would I use something like "window.location.hash" to fire off the
function "showContact" for example, if the URL was /#contact?
This would need to provide for about 3 pages, Home, About, Portfolio and
Contact.
I know there's a plugin for enabling use of the back button etc, but I'd
rather something simple without having to load plugins.
Many thanks,
Alex
