Modifying location.hash without page scrolling

by

Use history.replaceState or history.pushState* to change the hash. This will not trigger the jump to the associated element.

Example

$(document).on('click', 'a[href^=#]', function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();
  history.pushState({}, '', this.href);
});

Demo on JSFiddle

* If you want history forward and backward support

History behaviour

If you are using history.pushState and you don’t want page scrolling when the user uses the history buttons of the browser (forward/backward) check out the experimental scrollRestoration setting (Chrome 46+ only).

history.scrollRestoration = 'manual';
