Changing the address bar without loading a page

[Qu0ll]

Another n00b question, is it possible with JavaScript to manipulate the
address bar without reloading a page? i.e. can I add something like
"?pageId=1234" at the end of the address bar text without actually changing
the page that is currently loaded? Can you provide some example code?

No, and if you had cared to read *anything* before you posted, you would
have known. Please make it your New Year's resolution to do so.

It is easy to become grumpy after having to endure the same idiotic behavior
again and again last year, and then see it continue in the next. I lost
count long ago, and I don't mean newbies asking questions in general.

What was so "idiotic" about my behaviour?

There was really no need for you to chime in with your useless rants. The
question had been answered and I was happy. Perhaps you've just had a bad
day or are going through a difficult time. Either way, apology accepted.

Seriously? This is usenet. Thomas wasn't being "grumpy" or offensive
by usenet standards. If you want to see grumpy go to comp.lang.c. Grow
a thick skin or you wouldn't survive usenet.

My skin is plenty thick enough and no offense was taken. But I still would
like to know why my post was "idiotic" so I will never ever be so stupid
again.

How many times will it have to be explained to you what a "forged"
address is, and is not, before you finally realize what one really is?
And, that the address used is not "forged"?

The biggest thing you've done to upset some of the regulars is ask a
fairly common question. While the question is new to you, most of the
folks here have seen (and answered) it a dozen types or more.

Thanks to DejaVu (now owned by Google groups and reachable at
groups.google.com) UseNet is archived and easily searched.

<URL:
http://groups.google.com/groups/sear...=Search+Groups >

The first page has someone asking pretty much that very questions over in
microsoft.public.scripting.jscript

The second thing you've done is ask how to do something that, even if it
WERE possible, is not a good idea. Don't muck with them. Don't try to
add weird hashes onto the end of it to save state. Don't break navigation.

Dynamic HTML (and AJAX) already breaks the traditional web to an extent.
It is hard to bookmark and to email a URL to someone else. In those
instances I'm a fan of '[Create email link]' and '[bookmark this]' links
but I'm *sure* I'll have someone jumping in with all sorts of problems
with that idea. I'll say ahead of time: They are right. I don't think
there is a nice way to do what you are trying to do.

While I agree that it is a common question (even one answered in the
group FAQ), it doesn't take near that much to excite Thomas into an
annoying diatribe.

Reading the group FAQ, specifically <URL:

also. Even though the last sentence should be removed.

OK, point taken. I still think "idiotic" is a bit over the top though :-)

The second thing you've done is ask how to do something that, even if it
WERE possible, is not a good idea. Don't muck with them. Don't try to
add weird hashes onto the end of it to save state. Don't break

Point taken again. As I said, I am completely new to the nuances of
JavaScript-ing. Thanks for the info.
