Defining selected tab by url in jQuery tab script

I have a jQuery search script that uses tabs for the user to define which search type they want to use. When a user searches, a URL is created which is something like #type/query/. If #type is in the URL the tab that corresponds to that type appears selected. However, If a query is also in the url (#type/query/) the tab isn't selected. With my code below, how can I make it so it will ignore everything after /query/? I hope you can understand what I'm trying to describe.

My jQuery script is:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('[id^=type_]').click(function () {
        type = this.id.replace('type_', '');
        $('[id^=type_]').removeClass('selected');
        $('#type_' + type).addClass('selected');
        return false;
    });
    if (window.location.hash != "") {
        url = window.location.hash.replace('#', '');
        $('#type_' + url).click();
    } else {
        $('#type_search').click();
    }
    $('#query').keyup(function () {
        var query = $(this).val();
开发者_StackOverflow        var url = '/' + type + '/' + query + '/';
        window.location.hash = '' + type + '/' + query + '/';
        document.title = $(this).val() + ' - My Search';
        $('#results').show();
        if (query == '') {
            window.location.hash = '';
            document.title = 'My Search';
            $('#results').hide();
        }
        $.ajax({
            type: 'GET',
            url: url,
            dataType: 'html',
            success: function (results) {
                $('#results').html(results);
            }
        });
    });
    var textlength = $('#query').val().length;
    if (textlength <= 0) {
        $('#query').focus();
    } else {
        $('#query').blur();
    }
});

The slightly clumsy way I came up with is:

$('a').each(
    function(){
        var url = this.href;
        var hashAt = url.indexOf('#');
        var nextSlashAt = url.indexOf('/',hashAt);
        var url = url.substring(0,nextSlashAt);
        var tab = url.substring(hashAt);
        $(this).text(url + " (" + tab + ").");
    });

Obviously rather than iterating through the a elements, you'll want to assign the url variable to the window.location;, but from then on it should be easily adapted to your needs, I think.

• indexOf().
• substring().
