Change URL hash without page jump

Read Original

This article explains a common problem in web development where changing the URL hash causes an unwanted page jump. It presents a solution using the History API's pushState method to update the hash smoothly, avoiding visual flicker, and includes a fallback using location.hash for older browser compatibility. It also covers the browser support for this technique.
