Lots of AJAX apps don't have browser back, forward access .. nor are they bookmark-able. If your not in it for the long haul, don't go at all. A quick error reporting that I used before is to open an GET connection to a page I know that does not exist and then pass in a query string of the specific JavaScript error. i.e. GET --> /JavascriptErrors.html?error=no_data_incoming_from_XYZ_function This way it shows up on your server error log which has thousands of reporting tools available to make us aware on whats going wrong. An error is an error, lets not pretend they don't exist. ps. New Reader, good eats.
