Re: A Responsive Single Page App (SPA) with 3 Issues to Consider

It is funny how people went silent.

To avoid caching you just have to include genURI() and pxTS() in your
javascript
and modify your code to create a unique url - something like inserting

sn = genUri(s);

and then using sn as the link.

To be able to bookmark a specific start page is rater simple.

index.html should have a possible parameter like .../index.html?page=xxxx
and a button
that bookmarks the page (.../index.html?page=xxxx)
