Learn how to set the value of the fragment portion of a URL
I’ve had the need to programmatically change the fragment part of a URL
That’s the part after the #
hash symbol.
I was on index.html
and I wanted to change the URL to something like index.html#second
.
The reason for this was a bit unusual, but let’s say I had a table of contents but the links weren’t working as I wanted.
Here’s how I did it:
window.location.hash = 'second'
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time

or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
