open div without the hash in the address bar

I want to open an anchor div on my website when a user surfs to a link without the # in the address bar. For example; when a user goes to www.website.com/nameofdiv it has to auto open the div with the same anchor tag name (www.website.com/#nameofdiv)

I use the following script to open and close anchor div's on my website:

 function slideonlyone(thechosenone) {
 $('.show').each(function(index) {
      if ($(this).attr("id") == thechosenone) {
           $(this).fadeIn(500);
      }
      else {
           $(this).fadeOut(500);
      }
 });
 }

This is the HTML click event i am using:

<a href="#nameofdiv" onClick="javascript:slideonlyone('nameofdiv');">link</a>

I tried some stuff with the .htaccess and with the next script but it didnt worked.

 window.location.href.replace(/#.*/,'');

I hope I explained it well enough and I hope someone can help me!

If you're calling that code from a click handler, make sure you return false from the click handler, or call event.preventDefault().
