html5 onpopstate,javascript - HTML5 onpopstate on page load - Stack Overflow

Browsers tend to handle the popstate event differently on page load.

Chrome and Safari always emit a popstate event on page load, but

Firefox doesn't.

I tend to agree with the Mozilla system. Page load is not an action that requires an extra popstate event to be fired, because the state is not being popped, it is being loaded for the first time.

I am guessing Webkit is doing it for convenience... in all my implementations, it is consistently an inconvenience to delay loading my handler until after the initial popstate has fired.

Instead of this (using pseudo functions):

AddEventHandler(window, 'popstate', OnPopState);

I have to do something like this:

AddLoadEvent(window.setTimeout(function()

{

AddEventHandler(window, 'popstate', OnPopState);

},0));
