Add a fragment to the URL without causing a redirect?

Is there is a way how to add hash # to my URL without redirect?


window.location.hash = 'something';

That is just plain JavaScript.

Your comment...

Hi, what I really need is to add only the hash... something like this: window.location.hash = '#'; but in this way nothing is added.

Try this...

window.location = '#';

Also, don't forget about the window.location.replace() method.


For straight HTML, with no JavaScript required:

<a href="#something">Add '#something' to URL</a>

Or, to take your question more literally, to just add '#' to the URL:

<a href="#">Add '#' to URL</a>

window.location.hash = 'whatever';
