Working with single page websites and maintaining state using a URL hash and jQuery

by

You make the anchor point to an internal link like so:

<a href="#graphicsDesign">Graphics</a>

And then simply make jQuery respond to the click event and let the browser follow the internal link naturally. The browser should now have the internal link in it’s address bar. You can use the following JavaScript to parse the URL and then load the correct part of the HTML document. You will need to write the code so that the correct content is loaded based off what the browsers internal address is.

if(window.location.hash === "graphicsDesign" ||
window.location.hash === "somethingElse") {
    loadContent(window.location.hash);
}
