I am trying to hide a div class="axiosnext-arrow" when the current url is www.mysite.com/#home using the following code:

<script language="text/javascript">
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) { 
        $(function(){
            if (window.location.search == "#home") {
                $('.axiosnext-arrow').hide();
            } else {
                $('#navleft').show();
            }
        });
    });
</script>

Please try this: 

jQuery(document).ready(function($) { 
    $(function(){
        if (window.location.hash == "#home") {
            $('.axiosnext-arrow').hide();
        } else {
            $('#navleft').show();
        }
    });
});

   $(function(){
        if (window.location.hash == "#home") {
            $('.axiosnext-arrow').hide();
        } else {
            $('#navleft').show();
        }
    });

You dont need jQuery(document).ready(function($) { and $(function(){. They do the same thing. $(function() { is the short hand version, see Here.

Instead of using window.location.search you could use window.location.pathname or window.location.href and just search for your substring of #home.

This is where my answer came from: Get current URL in JavaScript?

  • It would be helpful if it would be impossible to achieve this using `window.location.search`.. – Rayon Sep 23 '15 at 18:08
  • @RayonDabre i tried using window.location.search but it would not bring in #home, only anything that was a parameter. which is why i suggested to use .href. i actually just tried using .pathname and it would not return the #home. Only when i tried .href did it grab #home. – fMont Sep 23 '15 at 18:22
