Hi there jQuery ninjas
I'm playing with the idea of creating a FAQs section for a site which has a OL with DIVS that are hidden/collapsed onload and shown onclick
I've set up the LIs and the DIVs with IDs and anchor tags, so when a user clicks on a bookmarked FAQ, this appears onload
can anyone help with this at all? -

Split location.href at the # character. Grab the last item in this new array (if it exists). Use the resulting string to set that DIV's display to 'block' -

Nice and to-the-point help there PettyRIder. Also, maybe location.hash may work and simplify the process further? -

Thanks guys
I ended up using a similar method to the one PettyRider suggested. A var was set from the location.href and the substring extracted
Then a routine was run to search for a href match and voila! Hey presto... even with 30 FAQs on the page it still loads in reasonable time.
Thanks to jQuery and a little bit of fiddling around we have a solution. Plus, the FAQs are also content managed so the end user has absolute control.
Win win. -

Wasn't aware of location.hash. Thanks for the heads up!
