I have looked around and found a couple of solutions for back button support with tabs using hash etc.
My question is this: I want to implement a page, that has a tab widget and that is called into a div using ajax.
If I click on a couple of tabs I want to be able to use the back button and page refresh and keep track of my current selected tab. but if I go back (with the back button) far enough, I want to call the page that was loaded before the page that contains the tabs.
page 0 is my main page
page 1 is plain text and loads into a div on page0
page 2 has tabs and loads into that same container div
I want to be able to click page1, page2, page2-tab1, page2-tab2 and then use the back button to do a reverse.
Is this possible or are there any working examples you could point me to?
