How to remove ugly characters from URl after FacebookOmniauth login

Question

I'm using omniauth-facebook gem and it works well.

But when it loads back the page on the application it adds these characters to the url:

/#_=_

How can I stop this from happening.

You can’t. Only thing you can do is try to redirect to the same URL without the hash part, or setting it to blank using `location.hash` in JavaScript. — CBroe, Mar 12 '13 at 09:53

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
            if (window.location.hash == '#_=_')window.location.hash = ''; //this script removes the #_=_ from the url which is appended by facebook after login
</script>

This kinda works. However it still leaves the '#' instead of empty string. – chell Mar 12 '13 at 10:47

Try this:

<script type="text/javascript">
if(window.location.hash=="#_=_") window.location.href="http://yourdomain.com/";
</script>
