I was following along with Jeffery Way’s history.pushState tutorial on Tuts+, however I’m not able to get his results.

Basically, here is my test page: http://leongaban.com/_tuts+/HTML5/

With the script at the bottom of the page, the URL is suppose to look like http://leongaban.com/_tuts+/HTML5/page however nothing happens, also in Chrome and Firefox the developer tools are telling me there is no JavaScript on the page?

My full markup (same as Jeffery’s):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>

    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>History – pushState</title>

</head>

<body>

    <ul>
        <li><a href="http://d2o0t5hpnwv4c1.cloudfront.net/2086_get-good-with-php/preview.png" title="Rockable">Rockable</a></li>

        <li><a href="http://tutsplus.s3.amazonaws.com/bestof/bestoftuts.jpg" title="Best">Best of Tuts</a></li>

    </ul>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        history.pushState(
            'Some data'
            'My Page Title'
            'page'
        );
    </script>

    </body>

    </html>


    <!--

    <script>
        history.go(-1); < Go back 1 page
        history.go(2); < Go forward 2 pages
        history.go(0); < Refresh current page
        history.forward(); < Forward 1 page
        history.back(); < Back 1 page
    </script>

    You need to pass commas into that function, to seperate the variables you are passing to pushState

     history.pushState(
            'Some data',
            'My Page Title',
            'page'
        );
