Okay. After hours Problem is solved.

Links look like this:

Now i can call a switch-page with Ajax and build-in parameters without the problme, that the hashtag is the ID of the link.

Works fine.

@Rvntone Should solve your Problem

Well, i'm using this code and try to make a more dynamicly framework for me, but got one big problem in the ie7.
I have to click 2 or three times, to jump him back to the last page. Deeplinking don't work too, but isn't necessary.

Bit of Code will be found: http://paste.bradleygill.com/index.php?paste_id=20317

In FF 2/3, Opera 9.6/10 everything works absolutely fine

Anyone ideas?!

when I comment the line: “parent.document.location.hash = “’ + (stateID == _self().defaultStateID ? ‘#’ : stateID) + ‘”; “
of the _setHash function in the line
“frames[_iframeID].document.write(‘parent.document.location.hash = “’ + (stateID == _self().defaultStateID ? ‘#’ : stateID) + ‘”; /* Wait for IE to impose its title before setting ours. */setTimeout( function(){ parent.EXANIMO.managers.StateManager._updateIFrame(”’ + stateID + ‘”); }, 10);’);
“

it work perfect in the explorer but don’t send de “#something” to the address bar

I have a problem with the ie7, I had to click twice the back button every time to return to the preview page. the code works perfect in FF.
The code I used is:

var StateManager = EXANIMO.managers.StateManager;

StateManager.onstatechange = function(e)
{
a=e.id;
switch (a)
{
case ‘busqueda’:
case ‘defaultState’:
selecpesta(1);
new Ajax.Updater(‘centerajaxupdate’,... “page1” ... parameters:Form.serialize(document), requestHeaders:[‘X-Update’,‘centerajaxupdate’]}) ;
StateManager.setTitle(‘TU-CARGA.COM :: ‘ + ‘Envia tu carga’);
break;
case ‘perfil’:
selecpesta(2);
new Ajax.Updater(‘centerajaxupdate’,... “page2” ... parameters:Form.serialize(document), requestHeaders:[‘X-Update’,‘centerajaxupdate’]}) ;
StateManager.setTitle(‘TU-CARGA.COM :: ‘ + ‘Tu perfil’);
break;
....
}
}

cargado= function(){ // onload function StateManager.initialize(); document.getElementById(‘busqueda’).onclick = function() { StateManager.setState(‘busqueda’); return false; } ....
}

what is worng?

PD: sorry for the code, I tried to index it but I coudn’t. :S

I’m in the process of making this use prototype and taking out the flash support. I’ll gladly post my changes when I’m finished if you want them. Just shoot me an email:

my name at the website linked to my name.

Also going to fix a bug with IE6 and firing the state change twice.

Hi,

I wanted to use statemanager in a private admin area using only FF and IE7, so I remade it without all the Safari stuff and so on. You could probably halve the file size if you didn’t code it so fancy with private variables and such.

But anyway, what I made works fine except when you leave and go back to the page in IE7 only the last state is remembered. Basically the iframe’s history is lost. How exactly does your statemanager manage to retain it?

Also, I experienced fan’s infinite defaultState loop in IE7 in one of the ajax examples while constantly going backwards and forwards between pages and states. I don’t know how to recreate it.

Can StateManager handle the following situation?
1. I have AJAX function to change some dhtml on the page.
2. User enters the address in the browser and navigates away from the page.
3. Then user realizes that he made a mistake, he hits the “Back” button to go back.
4. I want to be able to show the page/content where they left off (after the AJAX update in 1)

Can StateManager do this? and How?

Thanks in advance.

I just opened up the example site in Safari 3 and it doesn’t seem to work as expected. Just thought you’d like to know.
