You are trying to get the anchor. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3552944/how-to-get-the-anchor-from-the-url-using-jquery — sprain, Apr 16 '13 at 15:35

Those aren't quite duplicates since they all use `location.search` which will be empty in the url the poster is asking about. — Paul, Apr 16 '13 at 15:38

You can use the code from the answers to this question. The only difference is that you want to parse the location.hash instead of location.search so just change that in whichever answer you choose to go with.

You'll also need to use substr to delete the leading # like:

var hash = window.location.hash.substr(1);

Here is the code from my answer to the question I linked to, with the modification:

function get_query(){
    var url = location.hash.substr(1);
    var qs = url.substring(url.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
    for(var i = 0, result = {}; i < qs.length; i++){
        qs[i] = qs[i].split('=');
        result[qs[i][0]] = decodeURIComponent(qs[i][1]);
    }
    return result;
}

You can use it like:

var secondPage = get_query()['name']; // 'the second page'
