I am trying to get a handle on using URL hashes in jQuery to control history in Ajax and make links / pages book-markable. I have tried almost every plug-in out there, and I cant seem to get any to work properly, so I dont have any code examples really. But I am open to any suggestions, information, tutorials, etc.

The difference on one of the pages I am trying to incorporate this into is that I have a jQuery animation driven splash/loading page, which is also the same page that all of the content will be loaded into.

..and on this link, I want to by-pass all of the splash / loading animation and directly load the content based on the hash values / string (in this case, #home).

I've been trying to figure this one out for a while, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
