Capturing A Back Button Press (to An Anchor)
Oct 26, 2008
How can you capture a back-button move that points to an anchor.. So basically, the user enters the page, clicks on an anchor which brings him to another part of the page, clicks the back button. Now ideally when he hits the back button, I want to be able to call a javascript function from there.
Page loads --> user clicks anchor (#test) --> calls javascript function using onClick --> user presses back button --> ?? capture the back button move and call javascript function ??

We have an application where we page 1 has a submit button. As soon as this button is pressed, button would be disabled and new resulting page would be displayed. Now what is observed here is, when the user clicks the back button, page 1 is displayed back, but sometimes the submit button is still disabled.
I was asked to work on fixing this, and I also need to consider several test cases for testing this function. So what I did for this is, on <body> elements onload() event, I called a function which would enable the button, if disabled by anymeans. But on clicking back button, I found that onload() event of <body> element is not called. Why is this happening? Should there be any other event to be considered for handling this.
Another usecase, which I need to consider here is restricting invalid user agents. We have some logic internally to decide if the browser is a valid one or not. For testing this, I created my own user agent using UserAgent switcher plugin and invoked the app and it worked fine.
But, say I start with a valid user agent, click submit (at this point, button is disabled) and I navigate to some other screen and at this point, I change to invalid user agent and click back button, I should still get my submit button enabled back.

I am trying to trigger an event once the user clicks the browsers back/forward buttons, I have built a system just like facebook where if the user has javascript turned on they get the full feature of the site which includes fast switching for example if someone goes to this page "example.com/index.php" and click a link to contact.php it would change the url to "example.com/index.php#!/contact.php" but what I need to know is if there is any way to change the pages content when the user goes back and forth through the fast switch pages? something like "history.back !== -1" or something like that.

I need to capture the delete key event onclick on DIV. I wrote the below code using jQuery.
$("#DIVID").keydown(function(event){ // delete key works with IE
if(event.keyCode == 46)
{
// delete code goes here
}
This is working fine in IE but not on Mozilla, Safari.

We are developing an Ajax based application. In this application the
URL is fixed and as user navigates on the application we will change
Anchor on the URL so that user can bookmark the url and can load the
page on demand.
When user refreshes the page we have no issue in the populating the
page based on the anchor in URL as on load we can capture the
hash(#anchor) and act accordingly.
sample URL: http://www.google.com/somecontext#<anchor>
When the user clicks back button anchor is changing but not able to
know where to get callback.
Is there any event or way I can find when the user has clicked back
button.

I need an html page that when visited automatically redirects the browser to return to the previous page it was on. here is the current code I have:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>[code]....
this works in firefox but in IE you have to press ok in the alert box before it returns. I admit I am a javascript novice. Any suggestions

I'm looking to have a lightbox pop up when a user clicks the Back button in their browser rather than just navigating back. The purpose is to ask a question with a Yes/No answer, and if they click No, I allow them to go back. The only thing I've found anything like this is the onUnload event, but that doesn't prevent them from going back. How should this be handled?

I am trying to write a script that uses the IF statement to see wether or not a user clicked the back button to come to a page, and then if it's true to not let the page load and kick them back X number of pages (say 4) This is what I have so far:
<script language="JavaScript"><!--
if javascript:window.history.back == 1
{
javascript:window.history.back(4);
return false;
}
//--></script>

how to create an increment once you press a button. It has to be kind of like this:
$i = 1;
if ("#button").click(function() {
add one to $i;
alert($i);
});
Every time you press the button, the value $i should increase by +1. So if I press the button 5 times that should give the value 6.
I think I have to use a loop or something but I don't know how.

I'm really new to Javascript, and really know basically nothing about it. What I want to do is press a skip button on a page, then wait for the next page to load completely before pressing the skip button. I want the script to stop after the first five skips, though. I plan on making this into a GreaseMonkey script for my own personal use, if that info is needed, too.

Currently on the forum end of one of my sites, users like to create huge signatures. I would like them to have this option so I have used overflow to hide everything 150px and greater. On mousing over, the rest of the signature is displayed. This seems to annoy a lot of my members thou.Is there a way to show the overflowed text on button press using jquery or any other way?Edit:Another way to ask, a show/hide script that shows a max-height of 150px but on click shows the rest of the content.

I have a page at this link Then you can click the Driver Employment tab and add just two rows and press the Add button. Then it will take to Driver Details and show all the fields are required. The problem here is that the Driver Employment part I done using jquery the rest I did using normal javascript. So now how to get both working is my problem.

I am wondering how Back, Forward browser button works for iframes. Does it bring back/forward iframe or top window? I remember I had before a problem because I wanted to bring back iframe and not top window as it did. But today I tested my Facebook app and was surprised to see it works as I need which means it brings back/forward iframe window and not top. Is it possible that Facebook has some javascript code which does that or is this normall behaviour?

I am wondering if it is possible to navigate anchor links using a button onclick event. I want next and previous hit buttons to navigate the already existing hits (#hit1, #hit2, etc.).For instance, I have:
<script type="text/javascript">
var numHits = {HITS}-1;
function nextHit(){[code]....
I have seen working examples with the href tag (e.g. <a href="#" onclick="func();return false">), but nothing with buttons. I also can't seem to get the working href examples to work on my server.For instance, I cannot get this code to work, it just goes to js_required.html:
<a href="js_required.html" onclick="doSomething(); return false;">go</a>
function doSomething(){
alert("test");
}

I have a graphic with a rollover for site navigation on each page. I
put the page to go back to in the rollover javascript.
My question is, is it possible to put in some code that will refer the
visitor back to whatever page they came from rather than one I
specify?
The rollover is combined with a tooltip script to make matters fun
(below). However, I'm quite happy to lose the tooltip to have the link
perform as a back button.
<a href="../index.asp"
onmouseover="document.images['link1'].src=img2.src;
showtip(this,event,'Back to home page');"
onmouseout="document.images['link1'].src=img1.src; hidetip()";><img
src="bhome.gif" name="link1" border=0></a>

how do i make the page go all the way to the top after you press the back button?
for example, you would go to page 1 and you scroll mid-way, then you press a link to page 2. then you press the back button on page 2 and takes you back to page 1 but it brings you back to the section where you scrolled mid-way.
is there any way to make it so it will automatically bring you to the top of the page. ive seen it on other sites.

after hitting 'back' button I'm taken to spot on page where I was, but I'm being asked to do the opposite -- take user to the top of the page, after hitting 'back' button... when I look up this issue, most people complain of the opposite - that the browser takes them to to top of the page after hitting 'back' button...;-) [URL] is there a way with JavaScript to force page to go to the top of the page when you navigate to a back via 'back' button?
