http://www.domain.com/#sometaginpage
I want the "sometaginpage".
Help. Thanks!

The browser doesn't actually send anything that comes after the hash(#) to the server because it is resolved within the browser.

It is not resolved via JavaScript at all. It is resolved via an anchor tag . – netcoder May 25 '11 at 03:36

Fairly certain that #hashtags are NOT sent to the server, but you could develop a workaround with AJAX:
some-page.html:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$(window).bind('hashchange', function() {
var hash = window.location.hash.substring(1);
$.get('ajax-hash.php', { tag: hash },
function(data) { $('#tag').html(data); }
);
});
});
</script>
<div id="tag"></div>
<a href="#one">#one</a> | <a href="#two">#two</a> | <a href="#lolwut">#lolwut</a>
ajax-hash.php:
<?php
$hash = isset($_GET['tag']) ? $_GET['tag'] : 'none';
echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] . '#' . $hash;
?>
Note: This is dependent on the browser actually sending the HTTP_REFERER.. Since it's done through jQuery, it SHOULD.. but no promises! (Antivirus/Firewalls love to strip that from your packets)

I'm not sure if $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] will give it or not. s992 might be right, it may not send that to the server.
