--- Comment #9 from Jon <[email protected]> 2012-03-07 15:08:42 UTC --- Say I open http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San Francisco without javascript - I can use the search in that I type a search term and click okay and get a list of search results. If I do have javascript however, javascript could override all the links in the page and the search in the page so that when a future page is loaded it is loaded via javascript. Say there was a link to California in the San Francisco page. When I click California normally the following happens... * request made to the api to get content * content put into page via javascript * functionality like toggling is added * the address bar is updated to point to the new resource (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/California) [1] Now the key thing is the page hasn't actually changed - I still have the same javascript and same html. If I hit refresh I load the full page as reflected in the address bar. Note if I open California in a new window I get a full page load. So essentially we'd be cutting down quite a few HTTP request and give a quicker experience to many users but not everyone.
