IE Vs Firefax Back Button Reload?
Dec 19, 2011
I'm having an issue with the difference in behavior between the IE and FF back buttons. I'm using jQuery to create collapsable div regions which contain text boxes on a search form. After submit, if the use clicks the back button in FF, the region(s) the user had previously expanded, show as expanded. Also, there search term is still present. In IE, when clicking the back button, all regions are collapsed, in there original loaded state, but the search term is still saved.
[Code]...
When clicking the back button in FF, nothing happens. For IE, the alert pops up. This tells me that IE reloads the page (but somehow still saves some things, like the search text).
My question is, is there a way to keep IE from reloading when the use clicks 'back'? I will be creating my own 'edit' back button for users to get around this, but I also would like to prevent this from confusing users and causing undesired results.

I need some script to force the browser to reload/refresh when a page is reached from the back button.
EG You're on page A -> You click a link onto page B -> You Press Browser back to go onto Page A, it has old content that requires a reload.
Now, my page is currently php so I won't bother with my code here as I am looking for any solution (I have also posted in php forum).
Any JS solution that will trigger a reload on browser back is appreciated. I have tried a few ideas, most work in Chrome, IE always works, Firefox 4 and Opera 11 wont reload, simply fetching from cache I believe.

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.

By pressing a button I am directed from one page to another. At the second
page some things displayed on the first page are changed and now I want to
go back to the first page again. The pages are written in php.
If I use javascript:history.back() I get back to the first page but I have
to manually reload it to see the changes I have made.
The solution could be:
echo "<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;url=firstpage.php?op=view&id=$id&...&...&....">";
But I have to do a lot of work to get all the options (e.g. op=view&...).
Is there anyway I can use javascript to go back to the first page and force
it to reload, so that I don't have to reload it my self?
Or is there some way I can read out what is in javascript:history.back() so
that I could place it in the above mentioned solution? It doesn't seem to
work if I just do the following:
echo "<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="0;url=javascript:history.back()">";

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>

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 want to be able to click on a checkbox (or a radio button) and have it reload the page, but also keep the item selected. The code I currently have reloads the page but does not check the checkbox or select the radio button. The code is:
<form name="myform" method="post" action="thispage.htm">
<input type="checkbox" name="checkbox" value="checkbox" onClick="javascript:window.location.reload()">
</form>

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.

<input type=submit value="Back to previous page" class=header onClick="history.go(-1)">
for some reason it is submitting the form instead of going back a page --
why would this be?

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?

The site that I'm currently working on is related to a computer game, and I'm creating an interface similar to the game using js for rollovers and imagery changes.
However, one thing that web browsers have that the game doesn't is a "Back" button. I don't want to disable it--I hate when sites do that--but I want to makes sure that button changes that happen going forward also happen going backward.
That said:
1: Is there any way to force a function to run when the back button is pressed? And if not...
2: Does the body onLoad event work when the page is returned to using the back button?

Is there a way in IE to trap when the back button is pressed to do things like prompt the user to save or do some function other than going back?

I have used thickbox js library to display 'popup contact cards' on a private website. which requires the user to login, I chose this as it's far better than using real popup widows, or full windows do display the small amount of info (name, position, and phone number).
However the client has had trouble with some users clicking the browser back button to exit the 'thickbox' screen instead of the 'close' text in the thickbox header bar (or using the esc key as you can in the latest version of Thickbox), clicking the back button sometimes leads to the user being logged out returning them to the 'please login' page.

I would like to disable the back button in IE7 and IE8. I assume the best way is to use window.open. I tried below and it disabled the IE back button but doesnt show the menu items, url bar etc.
Code:
<a href="#" onClick="window.open(theURL, 'newpage.html', 'fullscreen=yes, scrollbars=auto')">go to page with disabled IE back button</a>;

Is there anyway to detect when the back button has been pushed? I have
three frames, and it requires three pushes of the back button to get
back to the previous "window". I would like to detect when the user
pushes it and send them back in one go.

Can someone point me to a script that will allow me to implement a "back button" in an HTA, since there is no history for HTA's. Understand this requires an array, is there any sample code out there

I am on the page [url]. I click on the .mouseenter() link and get to page [url]. Now I click on the IE back button and wait. Finally, when I click on the back button a second time, I return to the page [url]. Two clicks on the back button is a problem.

I have a pageA containing a form the user my fill in partially. All data is stored into cookies. He follows a link to pageB that contains some of pageA.form inputs. If he adds or change form data cookies are instantly updated. What I need is if the user goes back (back browser button) to pageA, the form here is updated from updated cookies. Only Firefox 3 does the job without extra code. Ive tried all sort of things I found on the web with Opera 10, Chrome and Safari 3.
