Changing URL with javascript

I know that changing the URL is possible, but I thought it is only allowed for the part behind the hash tag. (I am using it for ajax loaded content.)

Now I have seen some website are changing even the URL after the domain on sites that are not using the hash tag. Is this possible in all browsers? I read once that such a capability is proposed in some future html/js specifications but is still not approved.

They're using the history API :

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history

That's common in ajax.

Beware that it's not really easy and painful to debug.
