... Further, we make the code specifically FOR the "browser UI ".
You wouldnt make a wheel for a car and then say "Well its not my fault if it
doesnt bolt on! Its the car designers fault".
No, it would be your fault if your specifiacally designed wheel didnt work,
and the car manufacturers and users would not use your wheel.

Uhm,
1. Its done with page cache control rather than counting the number of
times js has to hestory minus.
2. Page refreshes dont effect the history.
I realise that the future for the history navigation in web browsers is
about to bring change to cater for DHTML/AJAX/etc, but please, there are
ways to manage your page navigation and the "too hard basket" as you
suggest is not one of them.
Rgds,
Eugene.

Quoting Eugene Kerner <[email protected]>:
My 2 bobs worth again ...
To my fellow developers out there: "Dont use the back button" is not a
solution.
So many websites now are breaking the back button with things like
ajax, and then rather than fixing their mistake they are sayiong saying
"stuff it the user shouldnt use the back button".
But guess what, the user will use the back button, so all you are doing
is making your site or application dodgy and unprofessional.
The biggest offender is facebook.
This is an ignorant statement. How is one supposed to fix this? There
is absolutely no way to reliably/consistently work around browser UI
design, which is inaccessible to anything we can do remotely via code.
(We tried capturing back button presses in DIMP 1.x, but it is
impossible to catch all cases so it has been removed).
What you are saying is that dynamic refreshing of page elements must not
be done, and all page interaction must be accompanied by a total refresh
of all page elements. Seems like a gigantic step backwards IMHO.
