Whoops, didn't think the html would be parsed. Here are the three examples: add history add history add history

Hi Brian (and Wael) After looking into this I discovered that most sitemap generators don't support RSH links (which is probably due to "javascript" being included in each of them). This is because RSH links in the demos given are in the following format: add history If you use the url generated by the script in the 'href' content and then put the javascript link in 'onclick', you will find that the script is initialised but the link is ignored, yet running a sitemap generator on this will list all links within 'href'. add history I'm not sure if this works so well when you change the linked item dynamically, but this is a decent solution in my opinion for listing items. If this method doesn't work exactly as planned then perhaps run an .htaccess script that points to the same item and change the url to something like the following: add history With the .htaccess script the page would then be interpreted by a search bot as an existing page, yet the server would interpret the page as the 'href' content given in the second example.

Hi Brian,

First, let me start by saying, thanks!
I'm new to Ajax and web development. I just implemented history and bookmarking capability with RSH and it seems to be working fine. My question: does this solution also solve the search engine problem. That is, if I have a sitemap with links on all my website pages (i.e. "pages + RSH solution") and submitted the sitemap to google, will google and other search engines be able to read them and properly index them.

Thanks,
- Wael

Thanks for putting together RSH. I am trying to use it in my code but am confused about the usage. I looked at the usage instructions at Google code, but I could not figure out how to add to history. Can you provide some more details as to when to invoke dhtmlHistory.add and historyStorage.put/get ?

Thanks for your help.

There are a variety of forks and patches others have done on RSH. Amalgamating those is probably a good first step.

Brian, I'm very excited that you are onboard and leading the project now. I just did a blog post about it:

Big ups, Brian! I'd been occasionally checking for the latest changes to an RSH fork at http://cvs.horde.org/dimp/js/src/dhtmlHistory.js .. it'll be good to have proper new releases.

Fantastic! We are using yui’s browser history, which seemed to be the best of the crop of history managers when we made the choice. It has to be the most brittle piece of code in our app. The most ridiculous requirement is that it has to be included inline at the top of the body. You can’t put it in a separate file. I am very glad that development of browser history is progressing. Thanks for taking this on!
