How to replace hash in url

Question

How to replace a url like this

http://test.com/#part1

to:

http://test.com/part1

I know location.hash but it will detect if there is a hash in url.

Answer 1

location.href = location.href.replace(location.hash,location.hash.substr(1))

Answer 2

You can use replace()

Here's a broken down version using windows.location:

var new_url = window.location.protocol + '//'
            + window.location.hostname + '/'
            + window.location.pathname + '/'
            + window.location.hash.replace('#','','g') ;

Or remove all the hashes:

var new_url = (window.location + '').replace('#','','g');
