    Update location.hash without adding to history?

    Hi Everyone,

    I understand in many cases, adding to history when updating
    window.location .hash is a GOOD thing. In my case, I want to update
    bookmarkability from javascript (post-load), but can't get it to do so
    without adding a record to history. (Firefox 3.0.3)

    I know it's possible to do, because Google is doing it. See this
    URL:
    Reengineering the Corporation
    http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&lr=&id=mjvGTXgFl6cC&oi=fnd&pg=PP1&dq=business&ots=QIzXpmm5xa&sig=Fas4pMfPxMIsahd4dysCVHe7_NU#PPA21,M1
    The most successful business book of the last decade, Reengineering the Corporation is the pioneering work on the most important topic in business today: achieving dramatic performance improvements. This book leads readers through the radical redesign of a company's processes, organization, and culture to achieve a quantum leap in performance.Michael Hammer and James Champy have updated and revised their milestone work for the New Economy they helped to create -- promising to help corporations save hundreds of millions of dollars more, raise their customer satisfaction still higher, and grow ever more nimble in the years to come.


    Note, scrolling up and down changes the hash without adding history
    entries.

    Any idea how this is done? I have been looking for a solution for
    months (on and off, but haven't found anything.)

    Thanks,
    -MIke C

      That would be a silly thing to do.

      There is confirmation.

      That is not what the hash is for and there is little chance that
      Google is doing anything right in their script.

      You wasted those months. Now re-think your design.

              Thanks so much! Seems pretty darn simple now, but this is huge for
              me.

              I had been setting window.location .hash = "value".
              window.location .replace("value ") works!

              Thanks again!,
              -Mike C

                  Still a silly idea, regardless of the perceived simplicity.
