Can I update window.location.hash without having the web page scroll?

Using JavaScript, is there a way to update window.location.hash without scrolling the web page?

I have clickable title elements that toggle the visibility of a div directly beneath them. I want the /foo#bar in the history when clicking titles but don't want the page scrolling about. So when navigating away from /foo#bar I'll be able to use the back button and have the div whose ID is in window.location.hash be visible upon return.

Is this behavior possible?

This behavior is very much possible. You should look into some of the libraries that have been developed to give you this functionality.
