Invisbly remember state with Ajax
July 22nd, 2007
A few times now I have used a useful pattern. The problem is that I want to remember the state of a javascript driven effect across multiple pages. For instance, one of my projects has a context sensitive administration pane that can be shown or hidden on any page. I want someone to be able to show this admin pane, go to another, and have the admin pane for that page already opened.
