Adding history support to ASP.NET / jquery web page

Question

Hi,

I've implemented a web page that loads content dynamically from the server via the jQuery.form plugin (for form POST requests) and via the standard jQuery load method (for all other requests).

Now I'd like to add history support, to properly support the back / forward browser buttons. I've managed to do this for simple links, but I always had detail problems when trying to add history support to the jquery.form POST requests. So far I have tried jquery.history and jquery.ajaxify with no luck.

Does anyone know a tutorial or have some sample code how to add history support to jquery.form ajaxed forms?

There is no built in support for modifying history directly with JQuery. But there is a JQuery History plugin (or two or three).
