Jquery hash if no hash

Question

Trying to get #home to display if there is no hash in the URL. I realized that something in these lines would work quite easily, but I can't do anything:

if(window.location.hash != null){ $(window.location.hash).fadeIn(800); } else { $('#home').fadeIn(800); } 

I have never worked with if / else statements in jquery, so this is clearly wrong

thanks!

Compare it with an empty string instead (zero and empty string are not equal in JavaScript):

 if(window.location.hash != ''){ $(window.location.hash).fadeIn(800); } else { $('#home').fadeIn(800); }
