GWT History Problem

when i am adding a new history item like this

History.newItem("Register");

the url correcly changes to

http://127.0.0.1:8888/BiddingSystem.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997#Register

and loads the register form

but then the url automatically rechanges to

http://127.0.0.1:8888/BiddingSystem.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997#

why??

because I want to remain as

http://127.0.0.1:8888/BiddingSystem.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997#Register

so that user can reload

Solution

  • The problem is that I was using an hyperlink for acting like a click handler. with a hyperlink, event if u place an empty string, it gonna change the url.

    e.g. if the current URL is something like http:...//#This and a hyperlink has an empty target history token then, the url is to change to http:...//#.

    The solution i used that worked for me is that because i does not want to use a button, i make use of label and adding some css to it to make it look like a hyperlink

    for e.g. 

    Label Register= new Label("register");
Label.setStyleName("FalseHyperlink");

    then in the css

    .FalseHyperlink
{
   color:blue;
}

.FalseHyperlink:hover
{
   text-decortion:underline;
}

    Here this solution worked for me because i was not interested in other hyperlink services such as visited or others
