Best practice: Allow for bookmark/permalink of jquery-generated (ajax) views?

Hi WanWizard! Thanks so much for you quick reply, I really appreciate the help.

[quote author="WanWizard" date="1281927119"]You will have to handle this client side, as a URL anchor (#3911Tw0w0w0w0) doesn't have any meaning server side, and will be stripped from the URL by the webserver.

You have to create a script that captures the anchor, and converts it to an ajax call to restore the state that anchor represents.[/quote]

Ah, interesting! Sounds good... I think I can work this logic into my interface.

Can you think of any other options? For example, would it be rediculous to generate an HTML flat file of the page? Hmmm, I guess that would be overkill.

Also, I wonder how Color Scheme Designer code translates that hash? Do you think it is all JS, or do you think they query the DB (with ajax) using the hash as a PK (which returns page state "data" to the JS in view)?

Thanks!!! I really appreciate your pro help!

Cheers,
Micky
