Use next:

HREF = document.location.href
HASH = document.location.hash

Some links to documentation would definitely improve answer quality. – J0HN Feb 06 '14 at 11:10
The better member is `window.location`, not `document.location`. Use w3.org instead of stupid w3schools with wrong information. – Daniel W. Feb 06 '14 at 11:21

To get the entire current URL, use:

var currentURL = window.location;

Then to get the hash, without the # itself, use:

var trimmedHash = window.location.hash.substr(1);
// returns `21` from `xxxx.com/#21`

window.location.hash returns #21, and substr(1) returns all but the first character of that string, thus removing the #.

try:

window.location.hash // will result #21
window.location.hash.substr(1) // will result 21
