You cannot change the url without redirecting, but you can change the url hash!

You can simply use the location setter to "redirect" to a hash. The page shouldn't reload.

You can use the hash to store whatever you like:

JavaScript

//not tested but might work
document.location.hash = "{blah:x,blah2:y}";
///////////////////
var hash = document.location.hash;
//hash = "#{blah:x,blah2:y}"
//You can add with json or whatever and use that object to save the page state
