I'm manipulating a nested list in jquery mobile. I need to run a check if the url ends with x#&ui-page=globalMenu-"and a number". How can I do this?

ex for a url

www.test.no/Site/default.aspxx#&ui-page=globalMenu-7

I want to check if the site ends/contains #&ui-page=globalMenu

Try this.

if(location.hash.indexOf('&ui-page=globalMenu') != -1){
   //It ends with #&ui-page=
}

window.location.hash will give you access to #&ui-page=globalMenu-7.

So the following code will do what you want:

var matches = window.location.hash.match(/#\&ui-page=globalMenu\-([0-9])?/);

For the example you give:

matches[0] will contain: #&ui-page=globalMenu-7

and matches[1] will contain: 7

Just a question.. what if the last number can go up to 1000? – Plexus81 Jan 19 '12 at 16:14

The last number can be pretty much any number. It just looks for one or more digits which are 0-9. – extols Jan 19 '12 at 16:17

Just check the value of window.location.hash for equality with your desired string.

Example:

Url: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8929224/jquery-if-url-window-location-pathname-ends-with-ui-page/8929249#8929249

Value of window.location.hash: #8929249

     }
