That is, if you've been browsing truck sites and then go to Ford.com, your first page would be of the Ford Explorer. I know you can get the immediate preceding page with HTTP_REFERRER, but how do you know where they were 6...
I've seen this weird behavior on several sites recently: I scroll down a page and follow a link to another page. When I click the Back button and return, I am left back at the top of the previous page, not at the link. This is very annoying if I'm clicking on links in a search results page or a list of "10 Best Foo Bars...". See this pa...

I stumbled upon location.hash (e.g. http://anywhere/index.html#somehashvalue) to circumvent the refresh problem (use location.hash to inform your app of it's current s...

I have a simple flow A.html -> B.html -> C.html Now, B either 302's to C, or shows a progressbar, and then after some ajax call is done goes to C.
