REST API and the location bar

[2ni]

Hi,

I'm creating an AJAX application using a REST API. I would like to
avoid to reload the entire app when the user types a new URL in the
location bar and instead translate it into a XMLHttpRequest.

I think this would be possible if there were any ways to use an
onbeforeunload event handler silently (without the confirm popup) but I
don't think its possible.

Any ideas about this?

Thanks,
Denis Laprise

I'll uninstall any browser found to allow that.
When I type an URL in the location bar, I don't want there
to be any chance of a malicious web site intercepting it and
taking me to a site that simply *looks* like my bank.
