<script type="text/javascript> var x = 0; //this occurs in the beginning of the page. $("#button").onclick{ x = 1; } </script> Let's say the variable "x" changes to 1. Then the user clicks a link. When the user clicks "back", will x be 0 or 1? It will be 0 . The browser does not cache the state of Javascript variables between page loads. Update This is not the case in browsers such as Firefox. Please see Trey's answer. Trey Hunner As detailed in another question , the real answer to this question is it depends on the browser . In Firefox and Opera, the below page will preserve the state of 1

The following code should cause an alert of '1', but instead does nothing. window.onpopstate = function(event) { alert(event.state.a) } history.pushState({a: 1}) history.back() Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/WNurW/2/ Any ideas?

Heres the fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/WNurW/8/ As you can see on the above picture: (1) Here you entered the page, or the

I have a ASP.Net web form that contains both text box fields and hidden fields. The hidden field values are modified dynamically using client side JavaScript. Posting the form, inspecting the values and redirecting to another page is all working as expected. However, when I use the browser back button to display the previous page then I expect so see that ALL form fields are still populated with the values that were posted.

The HTML5 History API allows you to modify the

When looking at the History.db from Safari, there's a table named history_visits which has a column named visit_time , which is a REAL value. It has values such as 470799793.096987 . What format is that in? I'd like to see it in a format such as 12/08/2015 05:12:05. It's the number in seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on 1 January 2001. It must be coming from an NSDate . NSDate objects encapsulate a single point in time, independent of any particular calendrical system or time zone. Date objects are immutable, representing an invariant time interval relative to an absolute reference date (00:00:00
