Issue on Creating Clean URL Using JavaScript

Question

Can you please let me know how to clean a hashed URL like this

domain.com/2.html#box1

to

domain.com/2.html

by removing the #box1 (the # and everything after that). I already tried this

if (location.href.indexOf("#") > -1) {
    location.assign(location.href.replace(/\/?#/, "/"));
}

but it generate a URL like

domain.com/2.html/box2

a.replace(/#\w*/,"")
