How do I change a URL w/o loading a page?

[Chico]

Hi,

Is there a way I can change the URL address in JavaScript without
loading the page? I can't use document.URL or window.location because
they force the browser to reload after the URL is changed.

I want to do the equivalent of manually typing in a URL without
hitting the enter key.

Thanks

That might have the ungratifying result of allowing http://www.phishtank.ru
to masquerade as http://www.bankofamerica.com in the address field.

I hope it can't be done.
