How to change address bar when typing in a textbox without page loads?

[Walle]

Example when typing "change" into a textbox address change to: http://www.onesite.com/#q=change

Is it possible?

Sure it's possible. Just append whatever text to the end of the url in the address bar. Every browser has it.

How's that even practical? But I know what you're asking for. I'm curious myself.

Just change the hash part: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.location

Thansk for link, got it work now.

@, try to make some search function with php and JQuery.

Now i need to grab "change" value from #q=change in url somehow. Any tip how to grab it a variable and echo it?

Maybe this will help. From what I understand, you should grab de hash and do some "substringing"; something like:

var q_value = substr(window.location.hash, 3)
