Detect back button in browser when the user go back to original page

Question

I have a page that hides the query string parameter on load by using the pushState method in javascript. For example this is the original url,

www.iprocess.com?acsn=23423432423432434; 

what it does is it hides the acsn parameter on load. so it looks like this

 www.iprocess.com

problem is when I click a link inside that page and then goes back to that page it only read www.iprocess.com without the query string parameter so the data does not load.

What I want is if the user go back to that page it loads the query String parameters at the same time hides it.

This the code:

 window.history.pushState('currentpage', 'Title', window.location.pathname);

Answer 1

Instead of using pushState , use replaceState , this way it won't keep the parameter state in history.

Note really easy to make a live example, but here is a plnkr .
