One of the articles I updated during “May is Maintenance Month” was an article about dynamic content. The idea was a simple website where clicking a link would fade out the existing content and fade in new content that it fetched via AJAX. The old article didn’t encompass what I now consider to be best practices for this kind of thing. 1) Works fine with JavaScript disabled. 2) It is possible to “deep link” to specific content. 3) The browsers back button and forward button work as expected.
