js challenge...2

I have a very good solution from Tom at: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/28745347/js-challenge.html
That solution works when both the hyperlink and anchor tag are on the same page.

Expected functionality: User clicks on Go to blink test hyperlink then Blink Test include with the anchor tag starts blinking for a few times. All at on the same page.

But, for the current question, Go to blink test hyperlink is on index.html and Blink Test is on target.html. Please see the image below which may help to illustrate the need.

I am shortly adding a new question asking for a little bit more functionality.

Suppose in the target.html I have to anchors like:

<a id="UploadVideo1">Blink Test - 1</a>
<a id="UploadVideo2">Blink Test - 2</a>

How to revise the calling hyperlink and how to revise the code in the target.html to navigate to the corresponding anchor and start blinking it. FYI, I have about 5 such anchor tags so, it will be helpful to have minimum lines of code by somehow passing a id parameter to it.

<a href="target.html?lnk=UploadVideo1">Go to blink test 1</a>
<a href="target.html?lnk=UploadVideo2">Go to blink test 2 </a>

The solution I posted in your other question will do this with a simple change

Add this to the JavaScript

if (window.location.hash != '') hashChanged();

Open in new window
