GWT's History object, which allows you to create browser history within a GWT ajax app, works differently across browsers.
Within IE, FF and Safari calling History.newItem(String historyToken, boolean issueEvent) for the first time adds a browser history state on top of the history event of navigating to the GWT web app. ie. Start at site http://google.com then navigate to http://myapp.appspot.com (made up site) then interact with the site to go to http://myapp.appspot.com#page2 and your history will look like: myapp - page2 myapp - home Google Within Opera and Chrome (normal channel as well as dev channel) calling History.newItem() for the first time replaces the history state of navigating to the GWT web app. The above example results in the following history: myapp page2 Google While this may be a bug, I don't care because I just need a way to detect (with javascript or GWT) which way the browser will behave. Does anyone know how I could detect this? The only thing I can think of is to detect which browser the user is using in order to process this situation. This obviously would be terrible programming because if any of the browsers change their behavior I would need to change my app. Many many thanks! p.s. the url to myapp.appspot.com is made up, I have no idea if it is real. It was just for example. If you really need to see an example I could make an example site. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Web Toolkit" group.
