Stop default hashtag behavior with jquery
- by scatteredbomb
I'm using the following code to append a hashtag to the end of a url. That way someone can copy that url and take them back to that page, with certain divs visable.
$("a.live").click(function() {
window.location.hash = 'live';
$("#live).slideDown();
});
In this example I have a div called 'live', that would slideDown when a link is clicked, and '#live' added to the url. Then I have code that checks the hash tags when the page is loaded to show the proper divs.
My problem is, how do I prevent the browser from jumping to the 'live' div once it's called? I don't want the page to scroll down to the div, just want it opened and the hashtag appended so a person could copy it and come back to that page with that div showing.
Any tips?
Thank you!
