Sometimes you click a link like faq.html#item5 and, after the browser jumps you to the anchor, you have trouble spotting the item you're looking for. anchorAway is a little function that helps you call a function on anchored items, maybe something like a scrollTo or a background color, that helps users easily spot the content you directed them to.

anchorAway parses the window.location for an anchor (#foo), finds it, and calls the function (act(bar)) on it. It also finds any on-page links to the objects you've specified and binds the same function to their click event.
