Hi Koen,
Thanks for checking that out for me.
So basically, what you're saying is if I click on a witty anchor in chrome,
it doesn't actually change pages; it's just an illusion. That's cool, 'cause
it seems to trigger internalPageChanged().
I'm finding that when I type addresses in the address bar, it's not
triggering internalPathChanged(), and if I override the 'refresh()' method
in my app/widgets, it just gives the base / normal path in 'internalPath()'.
I would like to be able to render the right thing when someone just
navigates to http://my.app/some/place out of nowhere.
Thanks again,
Matthew Sherborne
