remove the #anchor-id when scrolling

Question

I\'m using this jquery http://css-tricks.com/examples/SmoothPageScroll/ to create a smooth page scroll, however each time I click a scrollable element, the anchor ID appears on

Answer 1

To not show hash ( a browser default behavior), return false from click handler.

$('a').click(function(){
  // run code
  return false;
})

or

$('a').click(function(event){
  event.preventDefault()
  // run code

})

These also prevent browser from loading a url from href, among other things they prevent

Answer 2

The example explicitly adds the tag to the url:

// Set hash in URL after animation successful
location.hash = target;

You should be able to remove/comment this line.
