How to: Back button support “Ajax”

I have an asp.net ajax website, it full of things happen on the same page without page reload, such as sorting records, paging,… When the user go to another page in the same site and press the browser back button, how can i make the browser save the page state to return to it with the preselected options such as sorting option, page number in the paging.

I knew that there is a history control in the new .net 3.5 but its working in the same page not while navigating from a page to another. Also i am looking for a solution which work in all browsers.

Thanks,

You dont need 3.5 for the history control, check ScottGu’s blog here
