Trigger jquery animations based on url

Question

I'd like to be able to trigger animations based on the websites requested url. So for example www.site.com/index.php#houses

Then that would make a <div id="houses"> fade in?

Is there a simple way to do this?

Answer 1

You could try this:

$(function(){
    $(window.location.hash).fadeIn();
});

Answer 2

try this:

function(){
    var uri = window.location.pathname;
    if(uri.indexOf("#houses") > 0){
        $("#houses").fadeIn();
    }
}
