[K12OSN] AJAX and users

[Huck]

It isn't a matter of 'building their site navigation'... it's what the 
average user EXPECTS to happen when they hit the back button...

They EXPECT to see the previous page-view, they think Ajax is an 
industrial strength cleanser for kitchens, and have no clue as to what 
is actually HAPPENING behind the scenes..they just know on every 
'normal' website out there, you hit the back button and you see your 
previously viewed page(s).
