In studying ASP.Net and ASP.Net MVC 3, I ran across an interesting problem about the back button in AJAX. It doesn't record history. In regular ASP.Net web forms this problem can be fixed per history points as illustrated in Wrox Prof ASP.Net for VB and C# (Evjen, Hansleman, Rader), chpt 18.

I noticed that an otherwise totally successful launch of the MVC Music Store tutorial with the AJAX Autocomplete search box from the book that the back button does not register after hitting the search button. How does one address this in MVC?

PS. I am using Razor, as in the online tutorial and the book.

It turns out you can use history points in mvc as well. Found this in:

Thanks for looking at this.

You can also use a Javascript solution that doesn't require Microsoft Ajax, like the history.js library. It's available via NuGet: https://nuget.org/packages/history.js
