Question

I am trying to implement this like this:

<a href="#" 
   onclick='pushstate(function1(),"title",function1) return false;'>
   Function1
</a>

This link works so my AJAX comes onto the page. However when I call the onpopstate when the back button is pressed, the function doesn’t get recalled. When I alert my event.state I get undefined. How can I implement this, so that I can actually call back my function when the back button is pressed?

Answer 1

You have to capture the popstate event on the window, how are trying to intercept it at the moment?

window.onpopstate = function() {
    //restore the state here
}

Here’s a full tutorial.
