I am trying to get the string available after # in the URL. basically its an ID of the element that is passed from other page.

for example, the below url has investors_brand after # character, i need to get that string with jquery

www.example/about_us#pany_branding

here is the code.

var a = window.location.href;
console.log(a.slice('#'));

But could not get it right.

You can get the hash value:

window.location.hash

If you want it without the # use:

window.location.hash.substring(1)

Use split

console.log('www.example./about_us#pany_branding'.split('#')[1])

var a = window.location.href;
console.log(a.split('#')[1]);

use window.location.hash

console.log(window.location.hash)

You could use substring.

const hash = window.location.hash;
console.log(hash.substring(1));

This returns the part of the string after the index 1

Try

var a = 'abc./blog/seo-google-123';
console.log(a.split('-').pop());

Result: 123

You can use the hash value:

var x = location.hash;
