Description

When I click the "make request" button, nothing happens. I get an error in web console:

history.pushState is not a function
https://test.wikipedia.org/w/static-1.21wmf11/extensions/ApiSandbox/modules/ext.apiSandbox.js
Line 789

Note, things up to that point work (selecting what type of request, etc) work

Tested on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20110302 Iceweasel/3.5.16 (like Firefox/3.5.16)

Same symptoms on Google chrome 5.0.342.7 beta (Don't know if same exception, couldn't figure out how to get to the equivalent to the js console on chrome)

Yeah I know, my web browsers are a bit old.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

This function was introduced in HTML5 apparently: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM/Manipulating_the_browser_history#Adding_and_modifying_history_entries
I guess your browsers don't support it.

Please try with a recent (supported) browser and report back. :)

From https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Compatibility#Browser :

"Grade A" functionality is maintained for the following browser requirements:
Internet Explorer 9+
Firefox 3.6+
Safari 5.0+
Opera 11.6+
Chrome 17+

Internet Explorer 9 doesn't have history.pushState.
