Loading a Partial View and changing the URL at the same time

Question

When I load a Partial View with some unobtrusive AJAX I also need the URL to change accordingly.

It would be okay if I had to do the work in the jQuery's done() callback.

But it's not possible right, wihtout loading something new. So the only choise I have is to load a View?

Nice, can you say more or give me a link so I can read more of this? What do I google? — radbyx, Feb 05 '15 at 14:33
You can do this in modern browsers using history.pushState. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/824349/modify-the-url-without-reloading-the-page — esmoore68, Feb 05 '15 at 14:34

$.ajax({
    //some jquery ajax call properties
    success: function(){
        location.hash = 'your_unique_value';
    }
})

or use history api window.history.pushState('page2', 'Title', '/page2.php');

pushstate is actually really nice. I prefer that over the hash hack alot. Really a nice answer. – radbyx Feb 10 '15 at 07:55
