Remove the #string from the end of a url

[noahgelman]

I believe this is a client side issue.

I have a link that links to a div on another page.

http://www.example.com/#div-3

I want the page to still navigate to that div, but I want the #div-3 removed from the url without refreshing the page. How can I do this?

You’ll probably have to just let the browser do it’s thing at first, then after window.load, look into https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history

Thanks for the help Chris. It took me a little bit to understand how it’s all supposed to fit in but I got it. That did the trick.
