I have a page that uses the same content page that uses a warp to update the content depending on what the user has selected. This is all working fine but if the user selects the panel the URL obviously does not update and the uesr cannot set that page as a favorite, etc... is there a way to work around this? i saw something similar on this website even with the profile page when you select say the keys and downloads it loads the corresponding section without an entire page reload but updates the content and the URL, does anyone know where i can start?
thanks in advance...
i thought that would be the case i was just curious, its not critical for the pages on im, so just going to let it complete a full postback for the time being...
thanks...
Hello,
Yes, this is one of the major limitations of ajax panels like WARP - Url QueryStrings (and browser Back button is the other one). The problem with this scenario is that the page essentially does a postback to the server and the URL never changes (page is the same), while the postback parameters come from the form in POST format (as opposed to GET for URL QueryStrings).
In essense this means that you can never change the URL of the browsers when updating with WARP. The URL will stay the same, because if you change the URL it will bea GET request and this will not be AJAX update.
I am not sure there is an easy way around this as well. The best I can think of is to store the steps the end-users performs in Session, and then have a button that would say "export state" that would create a URL based on the steps from session and then restore it back based from the URL, but I am not sure how convenient that would be.
