[Javascript] window location hash

[Flávio Gomes]

As I dont have Safari here, lets try some shots in the dark =)

 What would happen if you set the location to "location.href" + 
'#bottomPage', instead of using the location.hash?


  location.href = location.href.split('#')[0] + "bottomPage"; //Spooky 
Code :-O
