Hide div if URL contains word

Question

I need to hide a div if the url of the page contains a certain word. Thanks to this site I have been able to successfully find if the url contains the word. This code works:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.location.href.indexOf("Bar-Ends") != -1) {
alert("your url contains bar ends");
}
</script>

but for some reason it will not work to hide a div, like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.location.href.indexOf("Bar-Ends") != -1) {
$("#notBarEnds").hide();
}
</script>

<div id="notBarEnds">this is not bar ends</div>

Anyone have any idea what is wrong with this code? Any help is greatly appreciated Thanks

Answer 1

Notice the reorder:

<div id="notBarEnds">this is not bar ends</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.location.href.indexOf("Bar-Ends") != -1) {
$("#notBarEnds").hide();
}
</script>

Or

<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
    if (window.location.href.indexOf("Bar-Ends") != -1) {
        $("#notBarEnds").hide();
    }
}
</script>

Waiting for the entire document to be "ready"

Answer 2

Try:

$(document).ready(function () {
  if (window.location.href.indexOf("Bar-Ends") != -1) {
    $("#notBarEnds").hide();
  }
});

Your div hasn't necessarily loaded yet when the script runs.
