Right. We already do this, sans popping a state object. > But for pages that were explicitly closed, and then > navigated to in a "new" tab, will you restore the full > history in these as well? No. The state object is attached to the session history entry, not to the page's URI. If you close a tab, all its session history entries go away. If you navigate to a page which was open in the tab you just closed, that new instance of the page won't be aware of the old page's state object(s). > And if there has been several sessions in parallel on that > URL space, which one do you respawn for a navigation to a > related page in a new tab? A navigation on a new tab would get an entirely new environment. Otherwise, like you suggested, this would be very confusing. -Justin
