worb writes "One of the two founders of Opera Software, Geir Ivarsoy, recently passed away after a long battle with cancer. His funeral yesterday was attended by Opera employees who paid their last respects to their former lead programmer. While Opera hasn't had the same success as Firefox on the desktop, it has had considerable success in the mobile phone market due to its speed and small footprint, combined with excellent standards compliance and innovative features."

Comment Solution for the "Back"-Button-Problem (Score 1) 510

I use Ajax in a few applications and there is no problem with the "back"-button if you use cookies to save the state.

For example: I'm developing a (german) flirt-portal, which makes extensive use of ajax and google maps.

Each interaction and it's result is stored in a cookie. If a user changes the zoomlevel or recenters the map, the new values are stored in a cookie. Next time the user visits the back, the values of the cookie are read back. Works perfect.

You may check this out: www.citybeat.de/flirt [citybeat.de]. Zoom into the map, select something from the menu, leave the map and return, you will see your last settings.
