how to remove the #prettyphoto from the url

Question

i m using prettyphoto media wordpress plugin(version 3.1.4). its working fine for me but my problem is that when i click on any image and it opened in lightbox then there is some additional tag in url like:#prettyPhoto[landscaping]/0/ thats why the url looks like:www.myssite.com/#prettyPhoto[landscaping]/0/.

how can we remove this extra tag. here is the code in my jquery.prettyPhoto.js file:

function setHashtag(){
        if(typeof theRel == 'undefined') return; // theRel is set on normal calls, it's impossible to deeplink using the API
        location.hash = theRel + '/'+rel_index+'/';
    };

    function clearHashtag(){
        if ( location.href.indexOf('#prettyPhoto') !== -1 ) location.hash = "prettyPhoto";
    }

I had the same problem yesterday, and I'm quite sure I found the answer here in stackoverflow... I visited so many websites, forums... so I don't remember where I got the answer exactly.

Anyway, I'm working on Dreamweaver, but I guess the code is similar in WP.

What you gotta do is specify the deeplinking property as false when you call prettyPhoto.

This is my code:

    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("a[rel^='prettyPhoto']").prettyPhoto({
            theme:'light_rounded',
            social_tools:false,
            deeplinking:false,      
    });
});

I'm a total noob in js, but I hope this helps :)
