Update URL on AJAX request without using hash #

Question

I need functionality like the below website. When you scroll down, new stories are fetched from server using AJAX and the URL is also updated. There is no hash # in url as well.

How can I achieve this?

thanks

pushstate. However, in IE<10, you'll have to use the hash or page reloads. — Kevin B, Jul 09 '13 at 18:19

window.history.pushState(“state object/id”, “Title”, “/new-url”);

Still, you need to use hashes on browsers that do not support it. I use https://github.com/browserstate/history.js that does all the old browsers fallbacks for me.
