Back Button Support with MS Ajax 3.5 SP1

First came html, then came page postbacks, then came AJAX, then came confusion.

With the popular use of AJAX, your customers have lost their back button navigation. ASP .NET SP1 to the rescue. Now you have a navigation event that can be used in conjunction with the ScriptManager to keep track of your History Points. When you perform a partial page postback, and want your page consumer to be able to undo that postback, you can register a 'History Point' - and the Back Button will come alive. After the user has navigated backwards, the forward button will work as well.

This new History portion of the Script Manger is not without it's Gotchas. In addition to the basic functionality of the Back Button support offered in SP1, you will also learn tips and tricks to help you stay out of trouble in the future.
