One option is to use a bit of JavaScript.

Remove the href= attribute from the <a> tag and instead have a onclick=... attribute on the <a> or any other element.

Then in the onclick handler assign to document.location.

It appears you are trying to modify the current url address without changing pages.
Do you have a valid reason for this? As is it non standard it will appear as a malicious attack to a lot of users.

Without further information on what your trying to achieve, I can only say you shouldn't modify the url without changing page. Otherwise using JavaScript you can change the page, and URL without doing a full page change.

If you are trying to use ajax to change a page, and the url, without refreshing you should refer to other stack overflow questions below.
