By that, do you mean you want to visit another site without refreshing the page?
If so then no it's not possible.
If you mean on the same site (So it acts kind of like gmail), then it is possible if the site uses AJAX or something similar to dynamically send information behind the scenes and then uses javascript to update your page without you needing to refresh.
P.S.
On your comments, there are a few ways to do it, each probably more complicated than the other. Not even google's AJAX applications can do this, however there is this 6 page long article that might help, it requires you to use some library though.
