I have a button that displays an overlay on click with Javascript to a url like this:

<http://www.sample.com/#about>

However the close button I have will just remove the overlay and not the `/#about` part in the url. What is the best way to remove the `/#about` when clicking the close button?

HTML

```
    <button id="hide" class="close">&#10060</button>

```

JS

```
// Simple show and hide button
$("#hide").click(function(){
    $("#about").fadeOut();
});
$("#show").click(function(){
    $("#about").fadeIn();
});

```
