<a>, php and jquery

<a>, php and jquery

Hey!
I have one problem, which i should solve. Of course, i could do my job as i done all the other times, but anyway, i would like to use jquery :)

Okey, here is my question.
At the moment I'm making site. With PHP and MySQL of course.
In example i have anchor tag, and I'm sending to adress bar, in example index.php?section=4&edit=7, where edit=7 is database ID for article.
If I'm doing like this:
  1. <a href="?section=4&edit=7">Edit Article ID 7</a>
Then i could easy to say PHP if($_GET['edit']), then open editor.

What i should do?

I have to thoughts:
1. It would be great, if i could send GET without refreshing;
2. If first isn't available, then what is the other options?
