Setting Body ID on Ajaxed WordPress Theme?

[Thad]

I am trying to ajax my wordpress site with the jquery hashchange plugin as seen in Screencast #85. The problem I am running into is that I am unable to target and style the content that has been loaded by ajax because the body ID is not changing when a new page is clicked.

I have tried the following, but they either leave the ID empty, set it to “home” or “default”.
1.

2.

$page = $_SERVER;

$page = str_replace('/', '', $page);

$page = str_replace('.php', '', $page);

$page = str_replace('?s=', '', $page);

$page = $page ? $page : 'default';

?>

3.

$url = explode('/', $_SERVER);

$dir = $url[1] ? $url[1] : 'home';

?>

Is there a function in php or javascript that will set the body ID even if a hash symbol has been added to the current URL?

I am new to this and I am wondering if I am making this too difficult. I may be searching for the wrong solution.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
