To change the URL in the browser without loading the new page, we can use history.pushState() method and replaceState() method from JavaScript. To display the browser-URL before changing the URL we will use window.location.href in the alert() function and will use again after changing the browsers-URL. Note: The history.pushState() method combines HTML 5 History and JavaScript pushState() method.
Syntax:
alert(" Message:" + window.location.hrf);
Below examples illustrate the above approach:
Example 1:
HTML
<head> <script> function neveropen() { alert("The current URL of this" + " page is: " + window.location.href); } function change_url() { window.history.pushState("stateObj", "new page", "changedURL.html"); alert("The URL of this page is: " + window.location.href); } </script> </head> <body onload="neveropen()"> <a href="javascript:change_url()"> Click to change url </a> </body> |
Output:
Example 2:
HTML
<head> <script type="text/javascript"> function neveropen() { alert("The current URL of this " + "page is: " + window.location.href); } function change_url() { window.history.replaceState("stateObj", "new page", "changedURL.html"); alert("The URL of this page is: " + window.location.href); } </script> </head> <body onload="neveropen()"> <a href="javascript:change_url()"> Click to change url </a> </body> |
