AJAX applications often need history tracking. Users will try to click browser back or forward buttons and get unexpected results if AJAX transactions are not registered to history.

The open source but not GPL Really Simple History library, http://codinginparadise.org/projects/dhtml_history/README.html, is one option. We're using this for Goodstorm along with the wForms library to keep track of where we are in a multi-page form. Although it's all happening on the client, the forward and back buttons work to trace navigation through the form.

We could use Really Simple History as a separate download, then build conditional support (if it's present) into modules like dynamicload.

Or anyone know of other history libraries out there, preferably GPL?
