How do I, with JavaScript, change the URL in the browser without loading the new page?
In http://acko.net/, when I click on the “Archive” arrow, it will show a “loading” picture and when it’s done, a nice transition would slide me to the next page. And what make me curious (and crazy) is when it done sliding to the next page, the URL changed! And there’s more. When you use the Web Inspector and enter history.go(-1);, it also shows the transition. I saw that and I keep saying “What the heck”!
So, how is it achieved??? That website doesn’t make any sense to me, since I thought history.go() would reload the whole webpage, but in fact it does not. That website is totally amazing, including the 3D animation at the top. (requires Webkit)
See this question, specifically the second answer: Change the URL in the browser without loading the new page using JavaScript
He seems to be using the HTML5 pushState API
