I am making a greasemonkey script and i would like a link to go forward and modify the current html and allow the user to click back to go to the original page.
How might i do this? using jquery + greasemonkey + javascript. Targeting firefox mostly.
-edit- http://jsfiddle.net/ seems to do it. If you write random html in the html section, hit run, change the html and hit run again. You’ll be able to click back/forward to see the output change (however the html input box stays the same). I am using firefox to view this. Thats the effect i want.
it appears the magic is done on line 91. Is this submitting a form in a frame (perhaps the results frame?) and that is causing the movement in history?
88 run: function(e) {
89 e.stop();
90 Layout.updateFromMirror();
91 document.id(this.options.formId).submit();
92 this.fireEvent('run');
93 },
It sounds like you want to use a history manager. You could either track the changes you make and undo them when the user goes back, or possibly call a page refreshing function.
