Get parameters from URL after # tag

Question

How can I get Parameter values from url after # tag? for example, I have the url like this

1) index.html#page=home
2) index.html#page=topic?secid=1&catid=1

from above urls, i have to get parameter values of page, secid and catid.

there is no standard encoding for such "params", but it looks like a plain queryString decoder should work — dandavis, Nov 20 '15 at 06:26
@YeldarKurmangaliyev `location.hash` is inconsistent across browsers. Better to parse `location.href`. — Alexander O'Mara, Nov 20 '15 at 06:27
for all, i can able to get values after # tag like this "page=topic?secid=1&catid=1". After that i dont know i have to split. — Mohan, Nov 20 '15 at 06:32
@CMraj After that use regex, `var params = str.match(/page=([a-z]+)\?secid=(\d+)&catid=(\d+)/); var page = params[1], secId = params[2], catId = params[3];` — Tushar, Nov 20 '15 at 06:34

To get all of the text, you can use window.location.hash, including the hash symbol. Here's some information about parsing query string parameters.

@AlexanderO'Mara: what browsers have trouble with location.hash? i've used it a lot without issues... – dandavis Nov 20 '15 at 06:34

If memory serves and nothing has changes recently, Mozilla browsers will automatically decode entities, but other browsers will not, leaving you with a string that may or may not be decoded. I'm not sure if there is a spec that defines the behavior one way or the other. Old IE also had trouble, especially IE6, but I don't remember all the details of that. – Alexander O'Mara Nov 20 '15 at 06:37
