Thanks for sharing and posting this bit of Javascript code! It was very helpful and worked perfectly for some similar functionality that I needed today.

I’ve never used greasemonkey, but if it’s javascript then you should be able to use this code somehow.

Hi. I was looking for a greasemonkey userscript that would enable me to automatically cull anchors from a specific site. What I would like it to do is, on that site, when I click on a link, I should get to the page I want to see and not have any anchors in the URL. Yours was the first hit on my Google search, and I tried to use your code in a bookmarklet and tried to create a GM script as well, but it did not work. Is there any way I can use the code to make it do what I want? I’d prefer an automated system of doing it, but even a bookmarklet would be very helpful.

Thanks so much!
