Saving the state on the server is not an option. This doesn't solve the problem of sharing links between users. It would be annoying for a helpdesk employee to everytime go through the whole process of finding out where a user is within the application. > Have you considered using "cookies" ?

Nothing fancy. > Date: Sat, 11 Dec 2010 18:30:03 -0500 From: Roger Roelofs <roger.roel...@gmail.com> This is kind of a long shot... Three questions: How big is your dom? A simple test comes out to about 1300 nodes in the DOM. A lot of event handlers are being attached to the DOM nodes however. > Is there an id or named anchor that matches the hash? I created an anchor with id and name set to test, and used the IE8 developer tools to test the difference between start and end. It doesn't make a difference. > How much memory is ie using when the slowness occurs? IE starts with 74mb, after one click it grows to 103, second 108, third 111. > If the dom is really large and memory low, I can imagine ie walking the dom to find where to scroll the page. This doesn't seem to be the case. I also made a test with a 300kb html file which had different attributes set everywhere and I could change the hash easily. The application does use a lot of event handlers, uses an iframe and makes extensive use of XML documents on the client side. Thanks so far guys, Sander
