It also makes the Back button misbehave. A better solution would be to use XML + XSLT to represent/translate the page if you want to save bandwidth, but I don't think the layout takes that much space anyway (CSS should hold most of the visual stuff, and you can have that cached), unless you're using some crappy table-based design. I suppose this has the same drawbacks as other JavaScript based sites, however at least it's not Flash, and with the right balance these sites can be fairly usable.

You could also call it a Web2.0 replacement for Frames.

Opera, when I click back, it doesn't always go back, I have to click twice or so.

OK. Thanks alot for the feedback. I'm gonna implement an ajax back button as well which should function 100%... Apparently, IE8 doesn't keep history of anchors.

Use the HTML5 history manipulation functions. Browsers will support it eventually.

When viewing a website, we have to reload the template each time.
Wait, what? Aren't all web browsers doing caching?

Exactly, why not split the page into different files and return 304 Not Modified for the template?

Nothing's showing up for me in any of my browsers, and elinks gave a weird error about an unknown fragment.

Why are you making web pages harder than they need to be?
