How Gmail makes IE Back work without refresh?
ajax, gmail, http
Solution
This is what I was looking for: http://nix.lv/history/demo.html#3
Found it on: Save the anchor in the ie6 history
Problem
Gmail uses # when you click on a mail to distinguish the page (+ Ajax action). http://mail.google.com/mail/#inbox/1238e709e37a1394 I found: Google using # instead of search? in URL. Why? In FF or Chrome you can use Forward and Back without refresh between those urls: http://X.com/MyPage.aspx#1 http://X.com/MyPage.aspx#2 http://X.com/MyPage.aspx#3 But on IE the page refresh and it doesn't count the params after # when a back action is made. How Gmail make the magic happens?
