Stop default hashtag behavior with jquery

Question

I\'m using the following code to append a hashtag to the end of a url. That way someone can copy that url and take them back to that page, with certain divs visable.

Answer 1

Try this:

$("a.live").click(function() {
    window.location.hash = 'live'; 
    $("#live").slideDown();
    return false; // this will prevent default action
});
