The article habrahabr.ru/post/108611/ describes a method for changing the address bar of the browser using anchor(anchor #).
Recently I saw that on the sites:
dropbox.com ,
github.com/defunkt/facebox/tree/master/lib , ... while
navigating through folders,
the address bar of the browser changes without anchors.
How did the creators of these sites succeed?

Links in the answers have already been given, I will add only keywords for Google (taken there).
HTML5 History/State APIs.

Then check out this github.com/balupton/History.js/ , makes it easy to work with browser history. There is support for several libraries. For older browsers that do not support the History API, there is an imitation via an anchor.
