In earlier versions, I used to test if I should be triggering popstate manually on page load, because Chrome triggers it right after load, and Firefox and IE do not.

if ($.browser.mozilla || $.browser.msie) {

    $(window).trigger('popstate');

}

Now that they dropped the browser object in 1.9, how should I test for these browsers? Or how do I figure if I need to popstate on page load or not?

The code is:

$(function(){

    $(window).on('popstate', popState);



    // manual trigger loads template by URL in FF/IE.

    if ($.browser.mozilla || $.browser.msie) {

       $(window).trigger('popstate');

    }

});

Update

Went for this:

    function popState(e){

        var initial = e.originalEvent === undefined || e.originalEvent.state === null;

        if(!initial){

            activateRoute({

                key: e.originalEvent.state.key,

                settings: e.originalEvent.state.settings

            },'replace');

        }

    }



    function init(){

        $(window).on('popstate', popState);



        $(function(){

            var route = getRoute(document.location.pathname);

            activateRoute(route, 'replace');

        });

    }
