[jQuery] Detecting variable passed by # in URL
I've seen Flash be able to be triggered by passing a variable or
sectionname through the URL after the #. For example, if I go to
http://www.site.com/#about it would trigger flash movie for about
section, and http://www.site.com/#contact would trigger the contact
section of the flash.
My question is would you be able to do this with jquery too? How do I
pass a variable through from one page to another easily, possibly by
using #?
