# pagestate Using the CSS target: pseudo selector it is possible to apply style variations based upon the fragment identifier of the URI of a HTML document. A benefit of using the fragment identifier of the URI to set a web page into a specific state (like showing a sidebar) is that it adds a record to the browser's history; users can use the back-button of the browser to return to the previous state. A problem is however that it adds a record every time the fragment identifier changes. Opening and closing the sidebar multiple times will add an equal amount of records to the browser history. Using the browser's back-button will also open and close the sidebar as many times. Pagestate.js ensures that only the last browser history record is a "page state".
