Hello there

I can say that I create the simpliest function that enable the Back and Foward browser buttons.

This here is good, but is using around 300 lines or more of code. My one is just 4!!

You will be able to see it in few days when i upload my new website.

I believe that a radical and easier solution would be to conditionally disable “Back” and “Forward” buttons of Web browser. I may tell me that that brakes a principle of web page browsing, but I think that AJAX application is an example of what calls a “web application” rather than a “web page” http://www.isolani.co.uk/blog/javascript/FixingTheBackButtonThatAjaxBroke.

So I totally agree about the back button being undo for the web. The approach that we’re using in Dojo for mapping the back button to request states is going to be the building block for a more complete undo framework for Dojo apps. It’s difficult, though, to tie everything to a data request, and not necessarialy useful in non-HTML environments (which Dojo does worry about), so dealing explicitly with back and forward buttons in bind() seemed the way to go.

I’d like to know if you dissagree = )
