I am trying to get a handle on using URL hashes in jQuery to control history in Ajax and make links / pages book-markable. I have tried almost every plug-in out there, and I can

Based off Tatu's answer, I just changed a few things to make this work for me. It keeps a history, so back and forward buttons work good. Here's what I have,

$(function() {
var current_hash = false;
setInterval(function() {
    if(window.location.hash != current_hash) {
        current_hash = window.location.hash;
            if(current_hash=='#home'){
                var month = '9';
                var year ='2011';       
                $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    url: "/home.php",
                    data: "data+here",
                    success: function(msg){
                        $('#div').html(msg);
                    }       
                });                     
            }
            else if(current_hash=='#edit'){
                $.ajax({
                    type: "POST",
                    url: "/edit.php",
                    data: "data+here",
                    success: function(msg){
                        $('#div').html(msg);
                    }       
                });             
            }
    }        
}, 100);

Then simply assign some hash's to the links href attribute;

                    
Home Page
                
Edit Page

It's not a whole rewrite, just basically added some if statements to the same thing, but it may help someone out.
