Hello. I just wanted to let you know of another project that relies on this
functionality to implement a history for AJAX and Flash RIAs. You can find it a
simple test page here:
http://www.unfocus.com/projects/source/historykeeper.html and another one using
flash here: http://www.unfocus.com/projects/source/#About .

These pages are not always stable, as they are WIP pages, I will try to send
some specific bug test cases when I find time (increasingly scarce time).

BTW, there is a bit of a workaround for this that has been implemented in my
script, which is to watch the history.length property. This property seems to
incorrectly change as you go back through the history (is this another bug?).

I mentioned on webkit-dev mailing list, that I think this is kind of a missing
feature on the web platform. It would be great if we could get some kind of
more robust history interface in javascript for AJAX and Flash RIAs, since they
are becoming more popular (maybe this is a feature request?). Even just a new
(onHistoryChange or something) event on the History or location element would
be good.

Anyway, if there is anything I can do to help (test cases, help with the dojo
scripts, etc.), please let me know. I have no mac osx Tiger to test with
unfortunately though..
