Teaser - New History Manager
I'm going to ask you to use your imagination:
Imagine an AJAX history manager that required absolutely no expertise
to use. Imagine something that could be applied to forms and anchors
to have them automatically be handled by AJAX and still maintain the
browser history (back button, and bookmarking). Imagine something that
works across all browsers supported by jQuery. Imagine something that
still works when JavaScript is disabled or can itself be disabled with
a single line of code. Imagine something that can be added to nearly
any existing static website as a non-intrusive upgrade. Imagine
something that is so stable you can use it on enterprise-level sites.
Imagine something with smart settings that can be easily customized so
you never have to get into the nitty-gritty. Imagine something that
provides callbacks at six separate stages during the AJAX loading
process to accommodate for animating transitions. Imagine something
that provides a page load callback for animating the initial page
load...
And then I'm going to tell you that you don't have to use your
imagination at all. The reason I've disappeared when I said I was
going to be around so much was to focus my efforts on this. To prove
how easy it is, here are two examples that show how easy it is:
$('a').XXXX('click');
$('form#someform').XXXX('submit');
I'll have an alpha version very soon--possibly tomorrow. I'd love some
help testing it and working out kinks. And if I missed any part of
your wishlist for the perfect history manager in the description, tell
me what else it should do.
