Everything seems to work well except the the browser's back button.
I use reallysimplehistory to handle this when working with AJAX. It's really easy to use.

window.dhtmlHistory.create();

var pageChangeListener = function (newLocation, historyData) {
    if (newLocation == "") {
        // Not accessing an AJAX page
        newLocation= "index";
    }
    // Load the page elsewhere (i.e. your programmer will need to implement this)
    loadPage(newLocation);
}

window.onload = function () {
    dhtmlHistory.initialize();
    dhtmlHistory.addListener(pageChangeListener);
    pageChangeListener(window.location.hash.slice(1));
};
