Remove query string from url without refreshing the page?

Question

There is a page needs query string to trigger a function:

http://www.example.com/index.html?triggerfunc

After the function is performed, is it possible to remove the query string (make the url like the following one) without refreshing the page?

http://www.example.com/index.html

Do you require query string. Even values can be posted via POST method while submitting the form. In this case the URL will not change. — Kalpak

Yes, query string is required. The query string was brought to the current page by clicking anchor elements in another page. — Ian Y.

Yes @Vito Van is right. The browser controls the URL. You can resubmit the code twice to remove the query string while retaining the final response.
