Answer 1

You can't actually change the URL that is shown in the address bar with javascript without a page refresh. If this was possible it would represent a fairly substantial security issue in my opinion. If you can live with a page refresh, window.location is your best option.

If you are using jQuery, the jQuery BBQ plugin is pretty neat. It handles a lot of the hard work for you.
