Initial load error when location hash isn't a selector

[aubergene]

I'm using the location hash to store state, in order to make it shareable.

I get the following error when loading as Sapper is trying to find an element on the page with the id of the hash so that it can scroll to it.

Demo: https://sapper.svelte.technology/guide#asdasd&&

client.354c98f5.js:1 Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: Failed to execute 'querySelector' on 'Document': '#asdasd&&' is not a valid selector.

Hey~!

That error comes from the browser because #asdasd&& is not a valid selector.

The && is causing the error for you. See here for more info

Hope that helps 👍

If querySelector would be replaced here by getElementById there would be no error.
