How do I read #2 at the end of a URL?

How can you check for a #hash in a URL using JavaScript?

Currently I am generating Urls that look like this:

InspectionPhotos.aspx?inspectionId=10001649#/2

The #2 is for a photogallery plugin, and this would mean go the second photo.

I would like to show a div only if there is a #/[anynumber] but if its just InspectionPhotos.aspx?inspectionId=10001649 then not show anything.

How could I do this check? Either asp.net on pageload or a client side javascript would be fine.

Thanks.

You can't do this in server side, because the hash is not sent to the server, to get this value with javascript is simple:

var hash = window.location.hash;
if (hash){
   //use the hash value.
}

JavaScript: window.location.hash will comeback with #/2 from your example.
