Question

I am using the jquery tools history plugin to add history functionality page. I am using this code

$("a.links_with_history").history(function(event, hash) {

});

Is there a way to manually set the url here instead of getting the value from the href attribute of the anchor tag?

EDIT: For the purposes of this question, assume that we are going to use jQuery tools and not another plugin.

If I were you, I’d use a similar plugin: History.js.

Then, what you need is a pushState. This is what it says in the read me:

History.pushState(data,title,url)

Pushes a new state to the browser; data can be null or an object, title can be null or a string, url must be a string
