Remove /#/ from beginning of deep link?

Question

I'm using the jQuery Address plugin to do some dynamic address changes. So far I've got it to change the address bar to my page name but it adds a /#/ at the beginning. I've had a look through the documentation but can't work out how to remove it.

My codes attached to a click event like so:

thisurl = "/portfolio";
$.address.path(thisurl);

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I decided to go with history.js to this .

Use History.pushState("", "Title", newstate); to change the addr bar and History.Adapter.bind(window, 'statechange', function () {}); For the back and forward button events .

Answer 2

If you want to redirect somewhere you should use

thisurl = "/portfolio";
$(document).location = thisurl;

But if you only want to set a placeholder for your javascript app, I don't think you can do it without the /#/

By making use of the state changes, you can avoid hash-bangs.
