Jquery, AJAX and URL changes

Jquery, AJAX and URL changes...

I have a galle开发者_运维知识库ry, and when the image change i would like to change my url to "#image_id=321" and when i load an url with this appended: "#image_id=321", loads the image with id 321.

is this possible to make without the "#" and using "/photo-id/321"? thanks

Update: Time moves on, while the below was true at the time of writing, we now we have pushState and friends as used by Github.

No. If you change anything more than the fragment identifier, you change the page, and it is no longer Ajax.

As a rule of thumb, if the information is significant enough to bookmark, then Ajax is probably going to cause more harm than good.
