The jQuery History Plugin is a extremely lightweight way to hook into history changes within the browser (for example when index.php#state1 changes to index.php#state2). It supports bookmarks, forward and back buttons, refreshes. Features include binding for generic/all states, specific states, and multiple binding (overloading). It is the only history plugin that I have found which actually supports all browsers (firefox2,3,3.5, safari3,4, ie6,7,8, opera9,opera10) withouts quirks.

Allows for browser forward/back button support through the use of hidden IFRAME. The user will not be hindered by any location.href changes and odd links that appear in the browser's location bar. This does not allow bookmarking.

The main advantage of this over the current History plugin, the jQuery UI History plugin or any javascript-based browser history functionality that harnesses the Location Hash fragment method is specifically for e-commerce driven AJAX functionality. This hides individual history fragments from the user's view and prevents specific fragments from being bookmarked.
