Yahoo! has launched a beta of it's new mapping application: http://maps.yahoo.com/beta/
It's based in Flash, but it uses JavaScript. I'm curious about one
feature, though - when you pan about the map, the URL in the address
bar of your browser changes to match your current location. How have
they done this? I thought calling window.location .href = "etc"; would
reload the page, navigating away from the current URL. Yahoo! have
managed to do this without the page changing. This is a very useful
technique for DHTML/AJAX/Flash technology and I'd love to know how
they've done it.
Many thanks,
Paul. 3  31933

An example of non-parallel thinking, combined with 3W recommendations
sent to the hell.
Link hash part (anchor name) #blah-blah-blah does not lead to
navigation away from the current page. Unresolved anchor names do not
lead anymore neither to a page shift not to an error: tested on IE 6.0
and FF 1.0.7
Opera 8.1 fails on it (did not check yet Opera 8.5, cannot check Safari
and Konqueror)
document.locati on.hash = "Write all what you need";
Ingenious! Another exellent example to myself to read less about
standards or rely on some previous experience. Only continues
experiments on concrete systems have practical value.

Only the hash part of the url is changing. You can do this as follows:
parent.location .hash = 'hello';
The actual URL http://maps.yahoo.com/beta/ before the '#' cannot be changed without a page reload. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
In an ASP.NET application I have tried using javascript to prompt a user to
save their changes if they try and navigate away without saving their
changes. The problem is that this client-side solution is not reliable under
different browser-sets. Does anyone know of a robust server-side solution to
this problem? Or can anyone at least point me in the right direction because
I am having great difficulty with it.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I've been trying to detect when a user closes a page or navigates away
from it. This is part of a solution for locking pages (that is, if a
user enters a page, no one else can enter it while he doesn't leave).
I'm using the window.onunload event to trigger the unlocking of a
page, but I don't want the page to be unlocked when a postback or a
refresh occurs...I only want it when the user goes to another page or

Scenario:
I've got a table for adding records, with a subtable for all data requirements related to that record.
I've built a 'view' form to navigate through the records, so that you can view the details of each. This includes a listbox to display the list of data requirements attached to each record.
I've made navigation buttons using the control wizard and converted them to VBA to allow more flexibility so that I can add code to them.
