On lifehacker.com when a user clicks a article on the right menu sidebar, the article & the page url changes, but the #rightcontainer always stays visible and , you never see it blink on the change of the page url, and when the article is ajaxed in (this is easy),

How would you change the page URL with a DIV staying visible on the page the whole time.

How is this possible? Javascript of some sort? (I think its freezing the browser then doing something, getting the data ready? )

I always thought you couldn’t change the page url with javascript because of security issues.

    I think you are looking for State Handling 🙂

    It used to be done by adding # at the end of the URL, but now HTML5’s State Handling features allow us to change the URL completely (ofc, within our domain)

    The answer you need is located here:
