Pop the last state from history

Question

Is it possible to get the html of the last state pushed to history stack, something like this:

history.pushState(null, null, {html: $('body').html()});

Change the window location:

window.location = url;

Now from the new location:

window.addEventListener('popstate', function(event) {
    // back to the last state - event.state.html
}
history.back() // That what's firing the popstate event? 

Answer 1

I searched for the request to get the html of the last state pushed to history, but did not get satisfactory answers. But I have an idea for you, why dont you try to save the html of the state before pushing it to history? This is quite possible using client side (cookies) or server side (session) variables, which can be retrieved even after the things have been pushed back in history.
