Sorry for my title, I don’t know how to ask this…
If you go to http://www.usatoday.com and if you click in any link there is a transition (cool ones) I want to ask if someone know how to change the url example:
You click /news/ and your are on /sports/ it makes a transition as it is a slider but the url changes, as it is another page…
If someone understands what a want to ask, it will be very helpful.
PD Sorry for my bad english
I think usatoday website is full Javascript application or say one page application. So there is no actual reloads.
URl Changing is new feature offered in HTML5 in a way to change the URL displayed in the browser* through javascript without reloading the page. It will also create a back-button event and you even have a state object you can interact with.
This means you won’t have to use the hash-hack anymore if you want add state to your AJAX-application, and search engines will be able to index your pages too.
You can use History.js to make this feature HTML4 browsers compatible.
