javascript - jQuery how to remove # from url

Question

My url generates like this: only shows in ie9

http://myurl.com/#/categories/posts

how do I remove # from url and make it like http://myurl.com/categories/posts on rest of my pages? thanks.

can i use like this? how can I detect # cause front page has no #.

if ($.browser.msie  && parseInt($.browser.version, 10) === 9 && window.location.href.indexOf("#")) 
    {
        document.location.href = String( document.location.href ).replace( /#/, "" );
    }

to remove #/ used .replace( /#//, "" ); as mentioned Kevin B

Answer 1

It's not really a JQuery job - use normal Javascript for this.

document.location.href = String( document.location.href ).replace( /#/, "" );

EDIT Adding @Kevin B's answer for completeness

document.location.href = String( document.location.href ).replace( "#/", "" );
