I use Request.QueryString["var"] to pull the value of http://test.com/test.aspx?var=test into a string
the same thing doesn't work for test.aspx#var=test
how can I get it from that version of a querystring?

That's a page anchor. I don't think it gets POSTed with the URL. – Robert Harvey May 19 '10 at 21:10

The Fragment Identifier (#) is client-side only, you can't get that from server side code.

Well you access it with location.hash so that's why I called it that, my bad ;) – Shawn Steward May 19 '10 at 21:52

#var=test is not q query string. That's part of the "URL Fragment". In a URL to a web page, it indicates which <a> tag to go to.

I don't think the part of the url after the # is passed to the web server directly. To access it you would need to do some javascript processing to pass it on.

oh i see, i'm trying to set the div style properties of a block differently depending on what's in that #var variable, javascript would be the way to go instead you think? – korben May 19 '10 at 21:13

Sure! jQuery takes some getting used to so you should read the getting started intro here: http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials:Getting_Started_with_jQuery Then you may want to look at this jQuery add on for url parsing: http://projects.allmarkedup.com/jquery_url_parser/ – Rune Grimstad May 19 '10 at 21:21
