Re: Ajax gone after redirect

I go by the rule-of-thumb to use ajax when the application really is
an application and not in any way similar to a website. Anytime I want
to use the word page to describe something or "go to" to describe an
action I know ajax is a bad choice. Ajax is so cool when you manage to
find a good use for it, though.


Google Calendar (even Gmail to a lesser extent) is a good example of a
"proper" application. I have never clicked the back button in Calendar
by mistake but I have managed to do it a few times in Gmail (trying to
switch back to the inbox and instead reloading the whole thing).
