Equal (==) and equal (===) not working for me

Question

I am using if condition in jquery and == is not working for me nor === . :( Here is my code:

var hash = window.location.hash;
var hash = hash.replace('#', ' ');
  alert(hash); /* Returns abc.*/
if( hash === 'abc'){
            alert(hash); /* not coming here.*/
        $('.tab').removeClass('is-active');
    }

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

window.location.hash will return #abc not abc. So, Replace below code::

var hash = window.location.hash;

With this::

var hash = window.location.hash.split('#')[1];

FULL code will be::

var hash = window.location.hash.split('#')[1];
if( hash === 'abc'){
    $('.tab').removeClass('is-active');
}

It will work.
