remove url parameters with javascript or jquery

Question

I am trying to use the youtube data api to generate a video playlist.

However, the video urls require a format of:

youtube.com/watch?v=3sZOD3xKL0Y
<

//user113716 code is working but i altered as below. it will work if your URL contain "?" mark or not
//replace URL in browser
if(window.location.href.indexOf("?") > -1) {
    var newUrl = refineUrl();
    window.history.pushState("object or string", "Title", "/"+newUrl );
}

function refineUrl()
{
    //get full url
    var url = window.location.href;
    //get url after/  
    var value = url = url.slice( 0, url.indexOf('?') );
    //get the part after before ?
    value  = value.replace('@System.Web.Configuration.WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BaseURL"]','');  
    return value;     
}
