    copied!<p>This might sound like a duplicate, but I have searched through the forum questions and I haven't found what I was looking for. </p> <p>So, I have been reading for a while now, and I still cannot decide what to do about the next situation. I'm building a one page website ( not my first ) which requires a smooth User Interface, so I have decide to load pages with AJAX for a better and more friendly navigation.</p> <p>I have been using : <a href="http://codecanyon.net/item/smartajax-smart-powerful-and-easy-to-setup-ajax/406189" rel="nofollow">SmartAjax</a> ; for a while and it was good enough for me. It works nicely and I had no problems with it, but with it had problems handling a lot of JavaScript as callback. Also there was a lot of work to do when implementing it through the whole website.</p> <p>And because now HTML5 is more stable than it was one year ago, and most of it's features are working in most of the browsers ( but some still require a polyfill ), I decided to start using HTML5 History API. A lot of websites use it and it's very easy to do so, but there some aspects I don't understand about it.</p> <p>Therefore here's what I would like to know about it :</p> <ul> <li>is it supported by all browsers by now, and most important, will touch devices and mobiles support it ?</li> <li>is there a special library or a framework for it ?</li> <li>is it safe to use for small websites ( a maximum of 6 pages ) but with a lot of JavaScript ?</li> <li>does it behave when using it in combination with jQuery Plugins ?</li> <li>what about hashbang and hashes ? aren't they the same as using History API ? and what are the differences ?</li> </ul> <p>I would appreciate all the help and info I get about the points stated above.</p>
