preserve the back button action when doing AJAX calls

[pesho318i]

hi all

In my website I'm doing a lot of Ajax calls, and consequently the changes do not go in the browser history. Thus, the back button takes me several steps back (before all the Ajax calls).
I know there are lots of posts written on this topic, but can you recommend me an elegant and lightweight solution for this problem. I want all the Ajax actions to be recorded in the history of the browser....

thanks!

Unfortunately this is not possible, you cannot alter the back button functionality of the browser...(this is a god thing ) This is a minor drawback of Ajax.. for example you will lose all of the steps when the page is refreshed too..

The best way is to keep track of the movements within your javascript and create a "back" button within the page with maybe a warning to the user that the back button of the browser will mean having to start again.

Well, I know that the Google Web Toolkit supports history updates when doing the Ajax calls. So I assumed that there is a lightweight framework, which can do it as well, hmmmm.
