Ajax History Support in Safari Possible?
I got a great email from David Bloom today. He says that he has figured out a way to have fragment identifier history in Safari. I haven't gotten a chance to test this myself, since I don't have a Mac, but I'd love to hear folks experiences with it. His email:
"I figured out how to get fragment identifier history to work in Safari...
http://bloomd.home.mchsi.com/histapi/test.html (only works in Safari, tested on version 2.0.3)
It's unoptimized and there are still plenty of ways to make it "mess up", but what matters is that it is a working implementation of back/forward history in Safari with fragment identifiers :-). I think that the flaws (such as forgetting - but still keeping entries in the browser's history for - all but the most recent history state when you leave the site then click Back until you're at it) can be fixed using cookies, cached forms, or something like that."
