Question

I am currently using jQuery to load a page at a specific hashtag (via onload function in the body class) when a user clicks on a post title. The hashtag obviously shows up in the url. I was wondering if there was a way to hide the hashtag from cluttering up the URL. Did some searches and did not come up with much.

function goToAnchor() {
    location.href = "#post";
}

As seen here: http://djpate.com/2009/10/07/animated-scroll-to-anchorid-function-with-jquery/

function goToByScroll(id){
    $('html,body').animate({scrollTop: $("#"+id).offset().top},'slow');
}

Just pass the id of the element you wish to scroll to.
