Bug 32156 – Browser history inconsistent when changing location.hash in an Iframe child document

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: History

["Cowboy" Ben Alman]

When the location.hash is changed in a document loaded in an Iframe, history entries are not always created correctly. This has been tested in OS X Safari Version 4.0.4 (5531.21.10) / Windows Chrome 3.0.195.33 / OS X Webkit nightly r51669

Synopsis:

Given an Iframe like this: <iframe src="page.html#begin"></iframe>

If that page.html location.hash is then set to #middle and #end, when the back button is pressed, #middle can be reached, but #begin cannot.

This page has a complete description and working example:
http://benalman.com/code/projects/jquery-bbq/examples/bug-webkit-hash-iframe/

This may be related to bugs 14959 and 17333, but I felt this description was sufficiently different to warrant a separate ticket.

I have also come across this. Other major browsers like Firefox and IE 6/7/8 all work correctly.

I also came across this.

Why this is not getting any attention ?

Thanks,

I am not able to reproduce this in current WebKit nighly builds (r66819) or the current Chrome stable channel (version 6.0.472.53, cut around WebKit revision r63707).

Since I'm pretty sure that http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/61207 is what fixed this, I'm marking this as a dupe of the bug that was attached to.
