Routing in Javascript

(...)route.js is the smallest, easiest way to create stateful navigation based on unique ... route.js doesn't impose any other libraries or formats, handlers are ...
(...)route.js




Indeed, it' is a very nice piece of work
Here is a little example

<!DOCTYPE>
<html>
<head>
    <title></title>
    <script src="Scripts/jquery-1.4.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="Scripts/route.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script>

        var nbrLoadedPages = 0;
        var pageNames = [];

        var staticPages = { "accueil": "Pages/accueil.htm",
                            "gestion": "Pages/gestion.htm",
                            "admin": "Pages/admin.htm"
                          };     
        var pages = {}


        displayPage = function (p) {
            var np = p.param

corMVC: An jQuery-based MVC Framework

(...)corMVC stands for “client-only-required” Model-View-Controller and that means it does not depend on specific server-side technology.
