           Summary: Changing the hash doesn't add a history entry
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 522+ (nightly)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: History
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: bleroy at microsoft.com


In both Firefox and Opera, setting window.location.hash to a new value creates
an entry in the browser history, enabling JavaScript applications to
meaningfully use the back button.
There were a number of hacks that enabled developers to emulate that behavior
on older versions of Safari and Webkit, but those seem to be broken in the
latest builds, including Safari 3 beta.
Safari should emulate the Firefox and Opera behavior, which is rational and
easy to use.
