Is it possible to manipulate the query string without actually submitting a new HTTP

Is it possible to manipulate the query string without actually submitting a new HTTP request?

For example, I have a page that allows the user to make a bunch of changes to some configuration options. When they first go to the page it will be the following URL:

www.mysite.com/options

As they click certain elements on the page, a link here or a radio button there, the URL would be changed to something like:

www.mysite.com/options?xkj340834jadf

This way the user can copy the URL and later go to the same page and have the configuration be exactly how it was before, but I don’t want to submit new requests as they click the options.

Is this something that is possible using javascript/jquery?

    I don’t think this is possible.

    Your best solution would be to add an anchor tag to the end of the URL, which can then be read by jquery to determine a HTTP redirect.

    I believe google also indexes when you use #! for this purpose.

    What's the shebang/hashbang (#!) in Facebook and new Twitter URLs for?
