/**
 * @fileoverview Browser history stack management class.
 *
 * The goog.History object allows a page to create history state without leaving
 * the current document. This allows users to, for example, hit the browser's
 * back button without leaving the current page.
 *
 * The history object can be instantiated in one of two modes. In user visible
 * mode, the current history state is shown in the browser address bar as a
 * document location fragment (the portion of the URL after the '#'). These
 * addresses can be bookmarked, copied and pasted into another browser, and
 * modified directly by the user like any other URL.
 *
 * If the history object is created in invisible mode, the user can still
 * affect the state using the browser forward and back buttons, but the current
 * state is not displayed in the browser address bar. These states are not
 * bookmarkable or editable.
 *
 * It is possible to use both types of history object on the same page, but not
 * currently recommended due to browser deficiencies.
 *
 * Tested to work in:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>Firefox 1.0-4.0
 *   <li>Internet Explorer 5.5-9.0
 *   <li>Opera 9+
 *   <li>Safari 4+
 * </ul>

/* Some browser specific implementation notes:
 *
 * Firefox (through version 2.0.0.1):
 *
 * Ideally, navigating inside the hidden iframe could be done using
 * about:blank#state instead of a real page on the server. Setting the hash on
 * about:blank creates history entries, but the hash is not recorded and is lost
 * when the user hits the back button. This is true in Opera as well. A blank
 * HTML page must be provided for invisible states to be recorded in the iframe
 * hash.
 *
 * After leaving the page with the History object and returning to it (by
 * hitting the back button from another site), the last state of the iframe is
 * overwritten. The most recent state is saved in a hidden input field so the
 * previous state can be restored.
 *
 * Firefox does not store the previous value of dynamically generated input
 * elements. To save the state, the hidden element must be in the HTML document,
 * either in the original source or added with document.write. If a reference
 * to the input element is not provided as a constructor argument, then the
 * history object creates one using document.write, in which case the history
 * object must be created from a script in the body element of the page.
 *
 * Manually editing the address field to a different hash link prevents further
 * updates to the address bar. The page continues to work as normal, but the
 * address shown will be incorrect until the page is reloaded.
 *
 * NOTE(user): It should be noted that Firefox will URL encode any non-regular
 * ascii character, along with |space|, ", <, and >, when added to the fragment.
 * If you expect these characters in your tokens you should consider that
 * setToken('<b>') would result in the history fragment "%3Cb%3E", and
 * "esp&eacute;re" would show "esp%E8re".  (IE allows unicode characters in the
 * fragment)
 *
 * TODO(user): Should we encapsulate this escaping into the API for visible
 * history and encode all characters that aren't supported by Firefox?  It also
 * needs to be optional so apps can elect to handle the escaping themselves.
 *
 *
 * Internet Explorer (through version 7.0):
 *
 * IE does not modify the history stack when the document fragment is changed.
 * We create history entries instead by using document.open and document.write
 * into a hidden iframe.
 *
 * IE destroys the history stack when navigating from /foo.html#someFragment to
 * /foo.html. The workaround is to always append the # to the URL. This is
 * somewhat unfortunate when loading the page without any # specified, because
 * a second "click" sound will play on load as the fragment is automatically
 * appended. If the hash is always present, this can be avoided.
 *
 * Manually editing the hash in the address bar in IE6 and then hitting the back
 * button can replace the page with a blank page. This is a Bad User Experience,
 * but probably not preventable.
 *
 * IE also has a bug when the page is loaded via a server redirect, setting
 * a new hash value on the window location will force a page reload. This will
 * happen the first time setToken is called with a new token. The only known
 * workaround is to force a client reload early, for example by setting
 * window.location.hash = window.location.hash, which will otherwise be a no-op.
 *
 * Internet Explorer 8.0, Webkit 532.1 and Gecko 1.9.2:
 *
 * IE8 has introduced the support to the HTML5 onhashchange event, which means
 * we don't have to do any polling to detect fragment changes. Chrome and
 * Firefox have added it on their newer builds, wekbit 532.1 and gecko 1.9.2.
 * http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/history.html
 * NOTE(goto): it is important to note that the document needs to have the
 * <!DOCTYPE html> tag to enable the IE8 HTML5 mode. If the tag is not present,
 * IE8 will enter IE7 compatibility mode (which can also be enabled manually).
 *
 * Opera (through version 9.02):
 *
 * Navigating through pages at a rate faster than some threshhold causes Opera
 * to cancel all outstanding timeouts and intervals, including the location
 * polling loop. Since this condition cannot be detected, common input events
 * are captured to cause the loop to restart.
 *
 * location.replace is adding a history entry inside setHash_, despite
 * documentation that suggests it should not.
 *
 *
 * Safari (through version 2.0.4):
 *
 * After hitting the back button, the location.hash property is no longer
 * readable from JavaScript. This is fixed in later WebKit builds, but not in
 * currently shipping Safari. For now, the only recourse is to disable history
 * states in Safari. Pages are still navigable via the History object, but the
 * back button cannot restore previous states.
 *
 * Safari sets history states on navigation to a hashlink, but doesn't allow
 * polling of the hash, so following actual anchor links in the page will create
 * useless history entries. Using location.replace does not seem to prevent
 * this. Not a terribly good user experience, but fixed in later Webkits.
 *
 *
 * WebKit (nightly version 420+):
 *
 * This almost works. Returning to a page with an invisible history object does
 * not restore the old state, however, and there is no pageshow event that fires
 * in this browser. Holding off on finding a solution for now.
 *
 *
 * HTML5 capable browsers (Firefox 4, Chrome, Safari 5)
 *
 * No known issues. The goog.history.Html5History class provides a simpler
 * implementation more suitable for recent browsers. These implementations
 * should be merged so the history class automatically invokes the correct
 * implementation.
