[jQuery] Accessing named anchors from the URL...


New to jQuery, having fun with it. Is there a section in the docs
concerning accessing the URL string?
Reason I ask is, when a certain page loads from a URL such as "http://
www.site.com/page.html#section123" I want the page to scroll (smoothly
if possible with the core library) to that anchor-named section and
then briefly highlight the div beneath the anchor. Markup would be:
<a name="section123"></a>

This paragraph text would be highlighted
