    Hi

    Thanks for anyone who can help me with this. I want jquery to do something if a particular hash tag is present (eg #hello) and then do something.

    if (present #hello)
    {do this}
    else
    {do this}

    Is this possible?

    Try this, let me know if it helps.

    
hashtag_regexp = [COLOR=#800000]/#([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/[/COLOR]g;

[COLOR=#00008B]function[/COLOR] linkHashtags(text) {
    [COLOR=#00008B]return[/COLOR] text.replace(
        hashtag_regexp,
        [COLOR=#800000]'<a class="hashtag" href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=$1">#$1</a>'[/COLOR]
    );
} 

$(document).ready([COLOR=#00008B]function[/COLOR](){
    $([COLOR=#800000]'p'[/COLOR]).each([COLOR=#00008B]function[/COLOR]() {
        $([COLOR=#00008B]this[/COLOR]).html(linkHashtags($([COLOR=#00008B]this[/COLOR]).html()));
    });
});
    Code (markup):

    With above code the text containing the hash tag must be within <p></p>
