Call Javascript function from URL/address bar

Question

There isn't from a hyperlink, no. Not unless the page has script inside specifically for this and it's checking for some parameter....but for your question, no, there's no built-in support in browsers for this.

There are however bookmarklets you can bookmark to quickly run JavaScript functions from your address bar; not sure if that meets your needs, but it's as close as it gets.

Write in address bar

javascript:alert("hi");

Make sure you write in the beginning: javascript:

You can use Data URIs. For example: data:text/html,<script>alert('hi');</script>

/test.html#alert('heello')

test.html
<button onClick="eval(document.location.hash.substring(1))">do it</button>

you may also place the followinng

<a href='javascript:alert("hello world!");'>Click me</a>

to your html-code, and when you click on 'Click me' hyperlink, javascript will appear in url-bar and Alert dialog will show

About the window.location.hash property:

Return the anchor part of a URL.

Example 1:

//Assume that the current URL is 

var URL = "http://www.example.com/test.htm#part2";

var x = window.location.hash;

//The result of x will be:

x = "#part2"

Exmaple 2:

$(function(){   
    setTimeout(function(){
        var id = document.location.hash;
        $(id).click().blur();
    }, 200);
})

Example 3:

var hash = "#search" || window.location.hash;
window.location.hash = hash; 

switch(hash){   
case "#search":  
    selectPanel("pnlSearch");
    break;    
case "#advsearch":    

case "#admin":  

}
