Question

I want to remove this from a url string
http://.....?page=1
I know this doesn’t work, but I was wondering how you would do this properly.

document.URL.replace("?page=[0-9]", "")

Thanks

It seems like you want to get rid of the protocol and the querystring. So how about just concatenating the remaining parts?

var loc = window.location;

var str = loc.host + loc.pathname + loc.hash;

I’m not entirely certain what the requirements are, but this fairly simple regex works.

loc.replace(/https?\:\/\/([^?]+)(\?|$)/,'$1');

It may be a naive implementation, but give it a try and see if it fits your need.
