jquery - JavaScript Historic back/forward -


i'm building little coffeescript application 10 buttons , container (simple). when user press on 1 of button : container change.

the buttons navbar , instead of using links (that reload entire page), used javascript (coffeescript, jquery or whatever) change content of page (with ajax query load data).

the problem , forward button of browser can't work solution... , need find solution that. routing maybe ?

i way asana.com resolved issue: address change content seems not entirely reloaded.

what suggest ? help

hashes. simplest solution define url hash every time user clicks on button. example:

location.href = "#" + button.id; 

with that, create history entry, , user can press or forward in browser.

but how can check when happens? there's hashchange event:

window.onhashchange = function() {     var state = location.hash.substring(1); // chomps initial #     ... }; 

basing code on state variable, can trigger ajax calls there.

by way, can change code altogether, using links instead of buttons hash href property, not reload page, creates history entry , fires hashchange event.

the hashchange event supported every modern browser (that support history.pushstate too, more flexible , powerful way control history) , ie8-9.
