javascript change window url without reload
HTML5: Changing the browser-URL without refreshing page An often overlooked feature of HTML5 is the new “onpopstate” event. This new feature offers you a way to change the URL displayed in the browser through javascript without reloading the page. It will also create a back-button event and you even have a state object you can interact with. This means you won’t have to use the hash-hack anymore if you want add state to your AJAX-application, and search engines will be able to index your pages too. Example : if (history.pushState) { window.history.pushState(“object or string”, “Title”, “/new-url”); } You can programmatically invoke the back-function by running: window.history.back(); And you can of course go forward too: window.history.forward(); Or even go to a specific history state: window.history.go(2);
