Not working in AJAX applications that trap history navigation #23

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 7 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
1. Go to an AJAX webapp that intercepts browser history.  One example is going 
to your gmail inbox, then clicking a message.  Another is going to a facebook 
photo and clicking for the 'next' photo in the album.
2. Press backspace (with this extension enabled)

Expected: The browser "back" action is correctly handled by the AJAX app.

Actual: Nothing.

However, if you click the actual "Back" button, or run history.go(-1) in your 
console, chrome behaves as expected and the AJAX app does it's thing.

I haven't looked into how these apps are capturing the browser action, maybe 
someone else knows?

Thanks, useful extension!

P.S. I'm running chrome 6.0.422.0 (Official Build 48573) dev on Ubuntu 10.04 
with version 0.49.7 of this extension.

The extension disables itself when a webapp is found, that handles backspace 
key itself. I'll have a deeper look into this pages on monday.

Sorry for the long time no answer. Was quite busy. Do you have some page for me 
that has problems about it to test?
