  • Are you using the same id more than once? If so, ID's should be unique, hence them being ID's.. to Identify a specific element, not a group of elements. To target a group of elements you should assign them with a class name. – NewToJS Aug 02 '15 at 17:42
  • `$("div#element")` Look for "jQuery selectors". – Vidul Aug 02 '15 at 17:42
  • @Vidul: And the `div` part of that is unnecessary (and slows things down markedly) in 99.999% of use cases. (You only use it when you want the `id` to be ignored if it's not a `div`.) – T.J. Crowder Aug 02 '15 at 17:51

you need to use window.location.hash to get the hash value

so if your hash is #someId23 do something like:

if (window.location.hash){
$(window.location.hash).addClass('selected');
}

This answer will help you to focus div, then you can use 'div:focus, div:active' pseudo classes and add some animation there, there are a lot, google it

This is better than jQuery manipulation. Also page performance doesn't affected
