showTabContent: function(id)
        {
            if(id != null)
            {
                var tabid = id.split("-");
                $("#tab"+tabid[1]).show();
            }
        },

gethash: function()
        {
            var hash = window.location.hash;
            if($.trim(hash) != "") return hash;
            else return null;
        }

Answer 1

You can use this function to parse the URL into an object: http://james.padolsey.com/javascript/parsing-urls-with-the-dom/. After you get the object back, you can use the properties of the object to get the parts of the URL you want.

The solution for your code:

HTML:

<a href="#tab-1">Tab1</a>
<div id="tab1"></div>

JS:

obj = {
    checkHash: function(){
        $(window).hashchange( function(){
            var hash = location.hash;
            obj.showTabContent(hash);
        })
    },
    showTabContent: function(id)
    {
        var tabid = id.split("-");
        $("#tab"+tabid[1]).show();
    } 
};
