Strip hash from url

Question

How do get the hash url to output something cleaner? Its doing this:

domain.com/#/page/1

When I want it to do this:

domain.com/page/1

 $(document).ready(function(){ var newHash = ''; $('#wrapper a').live('click', function(e){ if (this.hostname && this.hostname == location.hostname) { e.preventDefault(); var link = $(this).attr('href'); window.location.hash = link; } }); $(window).bind('hashchange', function() { newHash = window.location.hash.substr(1); $('#content').fadeOut(100).load(newHash + ' #contentInner', function(){ $('#content').fadeIn(100); }); }); });

Those are two completely different URLs. They point to different resources. The first points to the domain.com default index, the second to /page/1 of domain.com. Everything before the hash describes the resource name and optional parameters, and everything after is an anchor with the resource that is usually handled by the client. — jiggy

If I'm understanding you correctly, you need the HTML5 history API to accomplish this. — Michael Mior

Try :

var url = "domain.com/#/page/1"; var noHash = url.split("/#").join("");

That's what a hash is supposed to look like - the # portion is the hash. If you don't want a hash in your url, then do:

window.location = link;

instead.

if (location.href.indexOf("#") > -1) { location.assign(location.href.replace(/\/?#\//, "/")); }
