Hey Oscar,

It sounds like you're wanting to access the back/forward list directly. getHistoryLength() and historyURL() are *primarily* in FrameLoader for use internal to FrameLoader.

Since the back/forward list is more a property of the Page you should be manipulating it from there if you need more advanced information from it. Like you already pointed out, this is cake - anywhere you have a frame, you just call frame->page()->backForwardList()

Thanks,

Hi,

In my client code I need to get the length of the back and forward histories, and the page title for any given entry in the back/ forward history.

When I started implementing this, I found that FrameLoader has the getHistoryLength method for getting the length of the back history, but no equivalent method for getting the length of the forward history. Also, I found the FrameLoader method historyURL, which gets the URL for an entry in the back/forward history, but no equivalent method for page title.

I can see three ways of implementing this:

1. Add getForwardHistoryLength and historyTitle FrameLoader methods, and submit them as a patch.

2. Add a historyTitle FrameLoader method, overload (or modify) the getHistoryLength method to take a direction parameter, and submit this as a patch.

3. Bypass the FrameLoader methods, and use page()->backForwardList () to access the back/forward list directly.

What's the recommended way of implementing this?

Thanks,
Oscar Cwajbaum
