Hello,
I have a website which has many pages:
For example:
HOME:
http://mywebsite.com/index.html
SOME PAGE:
http://mywebsite.com/categorie/somepage.html
I decided to make my pages load dynamically with AJAX without reloading the page. So I decided to use jQuery Address plugin ( http://www.asual.com/jquery/address/docs/ ) in order to allow deeplinking and Back-Forward navigation:
<script type="text/javascript" src="uploads/scripts/jquery.address-1.2rc.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('a').address(function() {
return $(this).attr('href').replace(/^#/, '');
});
</script>
Now, after installing the plugin, if I go on http://mywebsite.com/index.html
(HOME) and click on SOME PAGE link, jquery successfully loads the http://mywebsite.com/categorie/somepage.html
without reloading the page and the address bar on my browser displays:
http://mywebsite.com/index.html/#/categorie/somepage.html
which is great!
However, the problem is: if I copy this dynamically generated URL: http://mywebsite.com/index.html/#/categorie/somepage.html
into a web browser address bar, it will take into my website index.html page and not to the "SOME PAGE" page. Also, The Forward/Back buttons don't work correctly, they only replace the address in the URL bar but the content stays the same.
I suppose that I need to write some JavaScript rule that associates the dynamic URL with the correct page?
Some help would be appreciated. Thanks :)
