how to remove # from url while using parent.location.hash

[vikas malviya]

Hii.......all

i have certain buttons on simple html page...nw i want to change the url on click over each button without refreshing the page...i.e the page should remain same only the url gets change.

actually i tried it by javascript using parent.location.hash and even the result which i get is perfect the only issue is that hash comes with the url.
consider an example........my home page is www.homepage.com/test

nw if i am using parent.location.hash="sitename/testingsite"

then the url changes to www.myhomepage.com/test#sitename/testingsite

nw the only issue is # i want to remove hash from that url ,please suggest me.

If you set the hash, the hash symbol will be there. if you want to remove that, that will be like changing the url which will refresh your page. What do you basically want to achieve??
