browser-history

Complicated question about javascript history object and cookies.

I have a one-page website with sliding panels, some of which have external links. The desired behavior is that when a visitor clicks an external link, they go to it.

As part of developing some ajax history behavior I encountered a weird thing: (my) ie7 doesn't recognize a page with different anchors (hashtags) as 2 different pages. The consequence is that when using the back-button ie7 skips over all previous urls (which only differ by the hashtag). for example lets say I have browsed the followin...

Is there a way to read a browser's history, using Adobe AIR or any other tool?

Hi, First of all, I'm not a hacker :) We're doing a project where we'll award points to users for visiting certain groups of sites. Obviously there are major privacy concerns, but we have no interest in actually knowing where they've been, just as long as the program we create can check the history and through an algorithm, rank the si...
