How to let not refresh the page

Question

I have a div, which is in a link href tag:

<a href="banana.html"><div id="somediv">Some Div</div></a>

when I click on the div, the entire page unloads and reloads with banana.html. However, I'm using websocket and need only a part of the page to reload, is there a way to change the window url without refreshing the page?

Thanks!

is there a way to do this with simple javascript/jquery functions? — Maria, Aug 19 '13 at 18:25

probably want to use ajax for this, jquery has a cool function that is pretty versatile:
