getting the value from url using # from javascript

Question

In my search option I redirect my URL to

window.location = '/admin/#q='+value+'&type='+type;

Now I want to take the value of q & type from URL

P.s. due to my url-rewrite rule I can't use ? instead of #

Answer 1

Use javascript split('&') on window.location.hash to separate the key/value pairs, then split('=') to separate key from value, check if key=='type'.

Answer 2

You can obtain and modify the value after the # via window.location.hash. Note that depending on the browser there may or may not be a leading # sign.
