METHOD FOR ENABLING DISCRETE BACK/FORWARD ACTIONS WITHIN A DYNAMIC WEB APPLICATION

摘要

A method, system and computer program product for managing a browsing history for a web browser. The web browser is configured to display web page content. A web page is addressable by a Uniform Resource Locator. New page content from a server is received at the web browser. A subset of a current web page is replaced with the new page content. The subset thus replaced does not include a complete web page. A data entry is stored in a chronologically ordered history list. The data entry comprises a hierarchical, object-oriented model representation of the new page content. The model representation may be a subset of a Document Object Model. At least one history navigation button is provided for traversing the history list. Page content stored at the history list is redisplayed. Backward and forward navigation within applications embodying Web 2.0 technologies, including AJAX, is thus facilitated.
