[SOLVED] jquery address how do you use it?

jquery address how do you use it?

I'm trying to understand how to use the jQuery address plugin for handling deep linking with ajax.

But the documentation is very poor and I cant find any good tutorials explaining what is going on.

I think a good documentation with good examples is important with every plugin.

Could someone explain or give some useful links for explanation?

$.address.change(function(event) {  
    // do something depending on the event.value property, e.g.  
    // $('#content').load(event.value + '.xml');  
});  
$('a').click(function() {  
    $.address.value($(this).attr('href'));  
});

I mean, what does $.address.value do? It says "Provides the current deep linking value." What does it even mean? And what does it do with it?

Solution

The plugin seems to have moderate documentation, but if you're looking for something a little more in depth that does the same sort of thing, I would check out jQuery BBQ: http://benalman.com/projects/jquery-bbq-plugin/

It's $.param implementation is being put into jQuery 1.4 and its deparam implementation is currently the only thing that reads that new format. Also, the documentation is great.
