You could do something hacky with pushState [0], but it would take a considerable amount of work to make it work. I can't even think of a way to implement it, but you could try something out.

Your other option is to have a back button in your iframe in a prominent location and hope your user uses that instead of the browser back button.

If you somehow figure out a way to make pushState work, you should probably still have a back button in your app, for old browsers. Or at least display it for only old browsers.

I think pushState might be the solution indeed. I was hoping for something a bit simpler. Thanks for the help! For the record, this screencast helped me: http://railscasts.com/episodes/246-ajax-history-state

Thanks for the link! I wanted to learn about pushState so that might help me out.
