Location: hash property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The hash property of the Location interface returns a string containing a '#' followed by the fragment identifier of the URL — the ID on the page that the URL is trying to target.

The fragment is not percent-encoded. If the URL does not have a fragment identifier, this property contains an empty string, "".

Value

A string.

Examples

html
<a id="myAnchor" href="/en-US/docs/Location.href#examples">Examples</a>
<script>
  const anchor = document.getElementById("myAnchor");
  console.log(anchor.hash); // '#examples'
</script>
