Remove parameter from url not working

I'm attempting to remove a url parameter status from the url but in the following alert, the parameter is still there.

var addressurl = location.href.replace(separator + "status=([^&]$|[^&]*)/i", "");
        alert(addressurl);
            location.href= addressurl;

How do i solve?

Javascript context in web pages are to the page you are working on.

When you reload, redirect or move to any other page, javascript changes done in previous page will not be there. This has to be handled from server side.

You are confusing regex with strings.

It should be:

var addressurl = location.href.replace(separator, '').replace(/status=([^&]$|[^&]*)/i", "");

Refresh repeats the last request to the server, which is going to ignore your javascript changes. Instead navigate to the new url with window.location = addressurl;
