I have a link, so I think I need a regular expression?

"?ThisIsAppendedLater'>sample</a>");  

Answer 1

Nathan's answer is good. For completeness; here is the regex:

var stripped = window.location.href.replace(/#.*$/,'');

Answer 2

window.location.hash = '';

Answer 3

url.substring (0, url.indexOf ("#"))

Answer 4

If you want to use a regex-based solution, you can use:

window.location.href.replace('#.*', '');
