[jQuery] Something changed from 1.2.2 to 1.3.2 with hashes


Hi everyone,
I have the following problem with the latest jQuery version. Thanks
already to anyone wanting to help me.
With jQuery 1.2.2 I could get a targets hash like this:
var $target = $(this.hash);
Sometimes, people use just href="#" to get to the top of page and not
href="#header" (or similar). Hence, if it was just a #, I considered
it to have an undefined target. Now to check whether the hash is
undefined or not, I used the following:
var $defined = $target.length;
Now if the hash was undefined, I would get a zero. If it was defined,
I would get a 1. Then with a simple if statement I was able to sort
through the stuff...
Apparently with jQuery 1.3.2 this is no longer possible? Anyone know
why and possibly know a fix to this?
Thanks
Max
