Updating address bar with new URL without hash or reloading the page example:


function processAjaxData(response, urlPath)
{
     document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = response.html;
     document.title = response.pageTitle;
     window.history.pushState({"html":response.html,"pageTitle":response.pageTitle},"", urlPath);
}

function processAjaxData(response, urlPath)

{

document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = response.html;

document.title = response.pageTitle;

window.history.pushState({"html":response.html,"pageTitle":response.pageTitle},"", urlPath);

}

You can then use window.onpopstate to detect the back/forward button navigation:


window.onpopstate = function(e)
{
    if(e.state)
    {
        document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = e.state.html;
        document.title = e.state.pageTitle;
    }
};

window.onpopstate = function(e)

{

if(e.state)

{

document.getElementById("content").innerHTML = e.state.html;

document.title = e.state.pageTitle;

}

};
