Handling Bookmarks and Back Buttons in AJAX

by Tom

By nature, AJAX based web applications are not bookmarkable nor do they recover well from user initiated back and forward button clicks. Really Simple History (RSH) framework makes it easy for AJAX applications to incorporate bookmarking and back and button support.  It appears that in one fell swoop a major shortcoming of Ajax web apps can be overcome with this particular solution.

I tried it myself and it appears to work like it’s supposed to. Just having this in your Ajax toolkit and to share with your colleagues will make your life a little easier as a programmer or web developer.
