Hi Ganesh, I believe the problem you're experiencing is due to the fact that you forgot to include a required iframe on your host HTML page. Specifically, the GWT History mechanism uses an <iframe> trick to correctly support history in IE6.
Try adding the following iframe in the body of your host HTML page: <iframe src="javascript:''" id="__gwt_historyFrame" style="position:absolute;width:0;height:0;border:0"></iframe> That should solve the problem without needing to hack the HistoryImplIE6 class. Hope that helps, -Sumit Chandel On Tue, Nov 18, 2008 at 11:13 PM, Ganesh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hello Friends > > Can anyone confirm if I am doing right for managing history or is > there any other alternate for avoiding this patch ? > > Regards > > Ganesh Bansal > > On Nov 18, 9:29 am, Ganesh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am using GWT 1.5 and want to manage history.
