Getting HTML5 history to work locally
Posted on 2014-02-28
I have the following HTML5 code I got from this page: http://html5.gingerhost.com/seattle
I downloaded the code and tried to get it working locally but haven't had any success. Here is the error:
SecurityError: The operation is insecure.
file:///C:/Users/miles.wil
Line 86
history.pushState(page_to_
Is there anyway to get this to work locally? I'm using FF browser.

<ul id="menu" class="clearfix">
<li class="current"><a href="/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="seattle">Seattle</a></li>
<li><a href="new-york">New York</a></li>
<li><a href="london">London</a></li>
</ul>
<br/>
<script>
// THIS IS WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENS
$(function() {
$('nav a').click(function(e) {
$("#loading").show();
href = $(this).attr("href");
loadContent(href);
// HISTORY.PUSHSTATE
history.pushState('', 'New URL: '+href, href);
e.preventDefault();
});
// THIS EVENT MAKES SURE THAT THE BACK/FORWARD BUTTONS WORK AS WELL
window.onpopstate = function(event) {
$("#loading").show();
console.log("pathname: "+location.pathname);
};
});
</script>

From https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/API/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history :
You are not working thru a web browser since the error URL starts with file:///C:/Users/miles.wil
If you put your code on a web server, it might start working. It at the very least will not have that particular error message.

The new URL can be any URL in the same origin as the current URL.
