I’m a big fan of the ExtLib Dynamic Content control. Use it in probably all my single-page XPage apps. Recently I was working on a page that had 2 nested Dynamic Content controls. I wanted to allow users to bookmark the page, including the state of both controls. I wanted to use a URL hash to do that. The useHash option apparently only supports one level, so I had to write a solution involving some client side JavaScript to update the URL hash. Here’s what I used to access the URL hash and update it:
//get the current hash value as a JavaScript object
var hash = dojo.queryToObject( dojo.hash() );
//add a parameter
hash['newParam'] = newValue;
//update the hash
dojo.hash( dojo.objectToQuery(hash) );
