Change the whole url in the address bar (Javascript)

Question

I need a code that changes the whole url in the address bar, (in javascript). I have already searched upon this question all over the internet and found this code

<script type="text/javascript">
function ChangeUrl(title, url) {
 if (typeof (history.pushState) != "undefined") {
 var obj = { Title: title, Url: url };
 history.pushState(obj, obj.Title, obj.Url);
 } else {
 alert("Browser does not support HTML5.");
 }
}
</script>
<input type="button" value="Page1" onclick="ChangeUrl('Page1', 'Page1.htm');" />
<input type="button" value="Page2" onclick="ChangeUrl('Page2', 'Page2.htm');" />
<input type="button" value="Page3" onclick="ChangeUrl('Page3', 'Page3.htm');" />

But this doesn't changes the whole URL, it just changes

localhost/index.php

to

localhost/Page1.htm

Is there a way possible to change the whole URL? like from

localhost.index.php

to

Page1.htm

Answer 1

No.

The History API does not let you change the apparent Origin of the page. That would be too useful for people making Phishing attacks.

You can only change the path and what follows it.

Answer 2

Use History.replaceState for your problem

• Quentin: replaceState is, like the pushState method used in the question, restricted to adjusting the path of the URL. It can't achieve the OP's desired goal.
