Gotcha, I was unclear. You can have jQuery modify the URL without actually
requesting the page from the webserver, I thought that was what you meant.
This comes in handy when you want to use javascript to update the URL
without requesting a new page from the server in case the user hits F5 or
refreshes the page, it will request the updated URL instead of the original.
So, you can do this as you mentioned, or you can parse the request.GET
dictionary and return them as variables to the template from the view.
Cheers
