JS - window.location and keeping current path

Question

I wish to simulate clicking on a link and redirecting using js, i do this with:

window.location

But how can I keep the current path:

mysite.com/article/page

And go to:

mysite.com/article/page/some-js-var

I know I can do:

window.href+'/'+myVar

Is there a better way?

HTML 5 history API is the way, [see this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5210034/history-pushstate) — Saqueib, Feb 12 '15 at 11:59
I know you didnt ask but if you become to solution make your personal router on the client-side then i think you probably should look at backbone or angular js — Smile0ff, Feb 12 '15 at 12:02
You want to preserve the link in the address bar and want to show the user a different page? — void, Feb 12 '15 at 12:06

This gives you the exact url the user is on:

document.location.href
