Hi.

The original link I sent:

http://codinginparadise.org/projects/dhtml_history/README.html

Had callbacks as well.  In other words, your application would log
history "waypoints" where each waypoint represented a state change in
the application.  These waypoints would consist of a name for the
waypoint as well as a set of data that could be used by the callback to
re-construct the critical aspects of that state of the application.

When a user clicked the back button, the callback would get triggered
and passed the data appropriate to reconstruct the state of the
application.

I can envision many scenarios where re-constructing state would be
hideously complex.  For tabs or something similarly simple, it would be
totally doable.  Desktop applications for the most part don't have much
application state (anyone else an Opera fan?) but they pretty regularly
have control z for edit rollbacks.
