Get the name form the URL in jQuery

Question

I have got a url by using

var url = window.location.href;
console.log(url);

This is the url

http://www.myproject.com/wp/?edit_project=797#step2=project

Now i want get the step2 from this url. Any clue how to get this only from the url.

are you saying you the fragment after the `#`, or that you want to then parse that fragment? — Rowland Shaw, Feb 05 '15 at 08:53
split `window.location.hash` by `=`, then get the second item in the resulting array — Rory McCrossan, Feb 05 '15 at 08:54

window.location.hash returns "#step2=project". And you need to parse it out(there is no restriction for the hash part of url).

This will work:

var startIndex = url.indexOf("step2");

var step2 = url.substr(startIndex);
