Most of the ajax in the wild is no better than that. Instead of saying Flash breaks everything, why don't we think about the good n' old browsing behavior model. Does it suit our Web 2.0 world well?
- wvenable 17y agoActually, a lot of Ajax handles the back button very well. The Extjs framework, as one example, lets you back through almost all the navigation including flipping between dynamic tabs. I'm not even sure how they've implemented that. There was a Ajax chat application that was posted here recently. And this was my comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1128206 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1128206 The back button is an extremely useful feature and should probably be in every application. Whenever a user gets confused or lost they just click that button -- it's a universal undo for navigation.
