Brad Neuberg has a comment in
this new post from his blog about an email from a friend mentioning a possibility of history support with Ajax in Apple’s Safari browser.
He says that he has figured out a way to have fragment identifier history in Safari. I haven’t gotten a chance to test this myself, since I don’t have a Mac, but I’d love to hear folks experiences with it.
Brad pasted some of the email, including the URL for the test – here. It’s still in its rough stages, but it should still work pretty well. If you’re running Mac OSX and want to give it a shot, check out the page, test, and leave some comments for Brad and David on what you found.

It’s a good news.
Works perfectly for me with the latest Webkit nightly build under OS X 10.4.6.
Good work.
Does no-one have a mac they can donate to Brad? He is doing phenomenal work, and listening to his account of developing dojo.storage I kept thinking there has to be a dozen people in the bay area who’ve upgraded and have older -but osx capable- hardware just gathering dust.
Thanks Sam :) I’d love a donated Mac. That would _definently_ help with all of these projects.

Very promising! This could be the back-button solution we need for Ajax sites. It worked for me in Safari 2.03. It also worked in Opera 9 (I’m using Mac OS X 10.4.6) and Firefox 1.5.
Seems to work on the latest Firefox on XP too.
I just want to make sure that people know that it is David Bloom that figured this out, and not me; he emailed me to post it on my blog because he wanted to have it get more publicity. David found an ingenious way to figure out history changes on Safari; check out his source code for details :)
Oh, and I’ll take a free Mac any day if someone wants to donate one :) That would drastically make work on these kinds of things easier for me, including on dojo.storage and other crazy schemes I’m working on.
