Overview:
Ajax breaks our fundamental expectations about how back buttons and bookmarks work. Now, however, Ajax history management has been built directly into such frameworks as Dojo, YUI and GWT, not to mention Gmail and other top Web applications. But not all Ajax bookmarking libraries are created equal. Learn how to enable bookmarks and the back button in your Ajax application using the Really Simple History library, which serializes application state in the URL #hash, and dsHistory, and allows the back button to trigger arbitrary JavaScript functions without changing the URL.


In this session you learn:



  • How to master built-in browser controls in Ajax applications;

  • The differences between various browser history managers;

  • The reasons why browser history managers tend to be a little brittle.



This session was recorded at The Ajax Experience conference in Boston, Massachusetts, September 29 - October 1, 2008.
