    Not sure if everybody can see what I marvel at:

    HTML URL history paired with with AJAX means only necessary parts of the page are replaced when loading a new page but the URL is changing as if the whole page was reloaded.
    As a result, we have smooth, application-like feel, without the blink reset that comes with reloading pages.

    For instance, if you roll over 'Pages' then click on 'Documentation' without moving the cursor away, the menu isn't pulled out from beneath the cursor, it stays.

    If you're on a shit browser like IE (even 9) or Opera, it just works like a normal template, reloading the page.

    This is the first template I see to use this technique over the old hacking the hash # or hashbang #! method that most sites use—from Twitter.com to Gridalicious.

    • Obviously I can see what you marvel at. :) Nicely spotted. It's so much nicer than the hacky hashtags..emilolsson
