$('a.ajaxylink').click(function(e){
  // Fallback for browser that don't support the history API
  if (!('replaceState' in window.history)) return true

  // Ensure middle, control and command clicks act normally
  if (e.which == 2 || e.metaKey || e.ctrlKey){
    return true
  }

  // Do something awesome, then change the URL
  window.history.replaceState(null, "New Title", '/some/cool/url')
  return false
})

Initial Description
/* 
 * There’s a lot of awesome functionality built into linking elements like <a> and <button>.
 * If you middle click or command-click on them they’ll open in new windows.
 * When you hover over an <a> your browser tells you the URL in the status bar.
 * Don’t break this behavior when playing with onReplaceState and onPushState.
 * Embed the location of AJAX requests in the href attributes of anchor elements.
 * Return true from Javascript click handlers when people middle or command click.
