In my continued effort to understand hash tags and page navigation I'm hitting a road block with resubmitting form data if a user uses the browsers navigation buttons (e.g. back and forward).
My function that uses the form data is below:
if(page == "/visits_results") {
$('#start').val(start);
$.post("visits_results.php", $("#profile_form_id").serialize(),
function(data) {
$('#search_results').html(data);
location.href = "#visits_results=" + start;
});
}
This works fine and dandy if the form is still visible, for instance if I use pagination it performs as I would expect.
My issue is when the user clicks the browsers back button (the form has now been removed) and then they click the browsers forward button. The event gets triggered but my serialized form data is now empty. Is there any way to cache the form data so I can continue to call it?
Any thoughts?
