title: Reading window.history.state object in Webkit
body: <p>Safari and Chrome (and, I'm guessing, all Webkit browsers) do not respond to <code>window.history.state</code> which is specified in the evolving HTML5 standard <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/history.html#the-history-interface" rel="nofollow">here</a>  and is implemented in Firefox.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a workaround to read it?  Perhaps it is possible to trigger a popstate event in code and return the state from the event handler?</p>
