Remember data

[FrEaKmAn]

Hello

I'm building a simple search option so my site and I have a problem with remembering the data. For example if user hits the search button, the data is loaded with ajax and he/she goes to the next link showed in loaded data. Now when he/she hits the return button, it goes back to main state, but I want that it returns to state where the search data is showed....

should I use some tricks, maybe remembering data with cookies or something...

Yes, or add history/back button functionality to your Ajax application. See, for example, this link.

hm, looks interesting, only problem is that it doesn't work with safari... maybe does now after almost 3 years...

my idea was to use ajax to store data, basically what is users searching, where etc and then this data is reloaded when he/she returns to search page. Only problem is that I don't know how to separate returning to search page and accessing it (it will load last searched data).. any ideas?

Well, in that case, use cookies. If the cookie is set, reload the search, otherwise keep the default state.
