Looking for a way to parse key pairs out of the hash/fragment of a URL into an object/associative array with JavaScript/JQuery Hovis Biddle Check out: jQuery BBQ jQuery BBQ is designed for parsing things from the url (query string or fragment), and goes a bit farther to simplify fragment-based history. This is the jQuery plugin Yarin was looking for before he put together a pure js solution. Specifically, the deparam.fragment() function does the job. Have a look!
