javascript – check if user is visiting pure root url

I\’d like to run a js script if a user is visiting my site\’s root url. I am using this code:

<script type=\"text/javascript\">
    if(location.pathname == \"/\") {
        window.open (\'#107\',\'_self\',false);
    }
</script>

However http://example.com/?foo=bar#hash will also run the script, since the pathname excludes the query string and location hash.

It currently behaves like this:

http://example/                  Root
              /?querystring      Root
              /#hash             Root
              /page              Not root

I want it to behave like this:

http://example/                  Root
              /?querystring      Not root
              /#hash             Not root
              /page              Not root

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
