As a follow-up question to: Most efficient way to do a horizontal sliding layout, is it possible to make the browser\'s back and forward button work when using a single page
In older way, you can try to use bookmark, e.g.

<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function goPage (v) {
var idisplay = v == 'i',
adisplay = v == 'a',
bdisplay = v == 'b';
document.getElementById('anchor_i').style.display = idisplay? 'none' : 'block';
document.getElementById('anchor_a').style.display = adisplay? 'none' : 'block';
document.getElementById('anchor_b').style.display = bdisplay? 'none' : 'block';
document.getElementById('content_i').style.display = idisplay? 'block' : 'none';
document.getElementById('content_a').style.display = adisplay? 'block' : 'none';
document.getElementById('content_b').style.display = bdisplay? 'block' : 'none';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a name="index"></a>
<div id="content_i">
index
</div>
<a id="anchor_i" href="#index" onclick="goPage('i');" style="display: none">to index</a>
<a id="anchor_a" href="#page_a" onclick="goPage('a');">to page_a</a>
<a id="anchor_b" href="#page_b" onclick="goPage('b');">to page_b</a>
<a name="page_a"></a>
<div id="content_a" style="display: none">
page a
</div>
<a name="page_b"></a>
<div id="content_b" style="display: none;">

</div>
</body>
</html>
