I have a heavily ajax based application wherein i only have a login page and the main page.
Most of my links are ajaxed and i have them done like this:
//get the href of the link that has been clicked, ajaxify ANY links
$(document).on('click', '.tree a', function () {
var link = $(this).attr('href'); //get the href off the list
$.ajax({ //ajax request to post the partial View
url: link,
type: 'POST',
cache: false,
success: function (result) {
$('#target').html(result);
$.validator.unobtrusive.parse($(form#ValidateForm));
}
});
return false; //intercept the link
});
I want to implement pushState on my application and the first step that i have done so far is to add this code:
$(document).on('click', 'a', function () {
history.pushState({}, '', $(this).attr(href));
});
Now it updates my address bar whenever i click on any of my links and the ajax content gets successfully loaded.
I am kinda new to this API so i don't know what am i missing but here are my issues so far:
when i press the back button, nothing happens. I read about popstate and browsed through SO to look for solutions but i can't
seem to make them work.When i click the link from the history, i get the raw view of the child html w/o the layout from the master html. What do i need to do if i want it to be displayed like
it was clicked from my main application?
Most of my child views are either forms or list.
