The principle is simple: it is possible to partially modify the URL of the current page without reloading the cause, adding the reference to an anchor using the symbol ’#’ at the end of URLs. This notation is planned originally for internal navigation to the page without reloading it through full type beacons <a name=’ancre’> ’

The system will operate in two stages:

First step: change the link calling

Simply add the tags’ <a href =...’ a call like JavaScript ’onclick’ adding an identifier of the sub-target page by modifying the variable ’document.location.hash’.

This gives for example:

Thus, during the call that will update a portion of the page, the URL will be changed and receive the suffix ’# 201006’

Second step: in the charged, recover username

The technique is simple, it inserts a JavaScript code that retrieves the current value of the anchor and which compares the identifier of the page reloaded. If they differ, it then causes a full reload of the page (via a change in the variable ’document.location.href’), passing the necessary arguments to rebuild with the right information. Thus in the page corresponding to the identifier ’20100725 ’, then is it enough to insert the following code Javascipt:

This technique is used on this site, for example for navigation of Ajax " The weather on the Train ", with a slightly more evolved Javascipt code that automatically calculates the identifier of the current page and the URL of the target page from SPIP tag ’# SELF’:
