# Hash Query Triggers

**Client-Side** triggers are available for use in Metrics, Campaigns, Global Changes, and Factors. Among them is the **Hash Query Trigger**. Collectively, the **Hash Query Name Condition** field and the **Hash Query Value Condition** fields simulate a query in the same way the hash sometimes simulates a path. They work the same way as a Query. SiteSpect looks for the first question mark in the hash to locate the Hash Query.

For example, in the following URL:

**http://www.mysite.com/#/products/shirts/01950/?shirttype=plaid**

**shirttype=plaid** is the Hash Query.

Use the **Hash Query Name Condition** field to enter the parameter you are looking for. Use the **Hash Query Value Condition** field to enter the value you are looking for.

From the example above:

- Hash Query Name Condition is **shirttype**
- Hash Query Value is **plaid**

When this Trigger is satisfied, SiteSpect applies the changes specified in the **What to Change** area.

When you select Hash Query as the type of Trigger, several options for entering the Name and Value are available:

- **Exactly ("Equals" in SuperFresh)** – The text that you are matching must be exactly what you enter here.
- **Does not match exactly ("Doesn't equal" in SuperFresh)** – The text that you are matching must *not* be exactly what you enter here.
- **Contains** – The text that you are matching must contain what you enter here. The text can be anywhere within the Path.
- **Does not contain** – The text that you are matching must *not* contain what you enter here.
- **Starts with** – The text that you are matching must begin with what you enter here. It must be at the beginning of the Path.
- **Does not start with** – The text that you are matching must *not* begin with what you enter here.
- **Ends with** – The text that you are matching must end with what you enter here. It must be at the end of the Path.
- **Does not end with** – The text that you are matching must *not* end with what you enter here.
- **JS Regex ("Matches JS regex" in SuperFresh)** – Describe the text you want to match using JavaScript Regex.

### What to Change

#### Selector

Use the Selector field to enter the name of a CSS Selector. When a page component matches this Selector, SiteSpect applies the settings specified in the **Changes** field.

**Note:** Linked Client-Side Factors require unique Selectors.

#### Changes

The Changes field defines exactly what you want to replace. There are several options:

- **Insert HTML** – Replaces the HTML content of the selected components.
- **Set Attribute** – Replaces the Attribute with the specified value if the Attribute exists. If the Attribute does not exist, this adds it. Enter the name of the Attribute on the left side of the field and the Value on the right side.
- **Set CSS** – Replaces the CSS rule with the specified value if the rule exists. If the CSS rule does not exists, this adds it. Enter the rule on the left side of the field and the value on the right. Note that if there is an !important rule, this won't override it unless this rule is also !important.
- **Custom** – Lets you provide JavaScript code to execute on each matching component. The first line and the last line of the field are not editable. Note that this function is run against each matching component. In addition, each time it's run, the current component it's working on can be accessed with the keyword this.
