Here are the three examples: <code><!--Example 1:--></code> <code><a href="addHistoryEvent();" rel="nofollow">add history</a></code> <code></code> <code><!--Example 2:--></code> <code><a href="rshTestPage.html#one" rel="nofollow">add history</a></code> <code></code> <code><!--Example 3:--></code> <code><a href="rshTestPage_one.html" rel="nofollow">add history</a></code> Whoops, didn’t think the html would be parsed.

This is because RSH links in the demos given are in the following format: <!--Example 1:--> <a href="addHistoryEvent();" rel="nofollow">add history</a> If you use the url generated by the script in the 'href' content and then put the javascript link in 'onclick', you will find that the script is initialised but the link is ignored, yet running a sitemap generator on this will list all links within 'href'. <!--Example 2:--> <a href="rshTestPage.html#one" rel="nofollow">add history</a> I'm not sure if this works so well when you change the linked item dynamically, but this is a decent solution in my opinion for listing items. If this method doesn't work exactly as planned then perhaps run an .htaccess script that points to the same item and change the url to something like the following: <!--Example 3:--> <a href="rshTestPage_one.html" rel="nofollow">add history</a> With the .htaccess script the page would then be interpreted by a search bot as an existing page, yet the server would interpret the page as the 'href' content given in the second example.

I just implemented history and bookmarking capability with RSH and it seems to be working fine. My question: does this solution also solve the search engine problem. That is, if I have a sitemap with links on all my website pages (i.e. "pages + RSH solution") and submitted the sitemap to google, will google and other search engines be able to read them and properly index them.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> - Wael</p> Hi Brian,

I am trying to use it in my code but am confused about the usage. I looked at the usage instructions at Google code, but I could not figure out how to add to history. Can you provide some more details as to when to invoke dhtmlHistory.add and historyStorage.put/get ? </p> <p>Thanks for your help. </p> Thanks for putting together RSH.

Amalgamating those is probably a good first step.</p> There are a variety of forks and patches others have done on RSH. Amalgamating those is probably a good first step.
