Back Button with XMLHttpRequest

Hi,

I'm wondering how Gmail do to make the Back Button pointing to the
correct page since they loads data with XmlHttpRequest ?
Do they load a page each time with JS framework and AFTER it loads with
XmlHttpRequest the data ? (to make the back button point to the correct
location AND to save bandwidth by implementing their own protocol...)

Thank you

They don't use XHR, it's all IFRAMEs, you're navigating back in the
history of an IFRAME.

Ok, but there is also XHR because if you sniff (eg with ethereal),
there is a little protocol to get messages.
Thank you
