Firefox - When Click Browser Back Button On Load Is Not Executed And Page Is Rendered From Cache
Aug 20, 2011
How you handle back button scenario in firefox browser. The problem is when i click browser back button , the javascript on load is not executed and page is rendered from cache.
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:
Does anybody know how to make FireFox to cache data that comes via XMLHttpRequest? Here is the issue I deal with: - On the web server (apache2) I have a static xml file test.xml - When I download test.xml using XMLHttpRequest, FireFox always gets complete test.xml from the server, thus not using the browser cache (apache sends 200 OK back to FireFox). - If I look into the HTTP request and the HTTP response, I can see that FireFox seems to always set the following request headers: Pragma: no-cache Cache-Control: no-cache - Apache always sets Last-Modified and ETag headers in a response.
I tried the same JavaScript code with IE, and IE definitely relies on its cache: I can see in Apache logs responses with 304 Not Modified code for IE, also HTTP requests from IE have If-Modified-Since and If-None-Match headers. I didn't find any difference in responses Apache provides for FireFox and IE.
I use Spry for my form validation and have recently ran into a small issue. Form fields validated using Spry lose their value when I hit the back button. Fields without validation retain their values.
The form is using the POST method. With javascript, is it necessary to send the form variables back to the original form page?
when you have a page that contains an iframe, and then navigate inside the iframe, hitting the browsers back button will only affect the contents of the iframe and not the entire page. I've been searching all over for solutions and cant find one that works for my current implementation.
function ShowPage(frame) { frames[0].location = frame+'.html' frame.contentWindow.location.replace(newUrl); } [Code]...
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 have some initialization to be done at page load time, which changes the text of some anchors so that they are consistent with the query string (these anchors are used as criteria selectors, and should be initialized to the criteria contained within the url).
IE and Safari fire the onload event before rendering any elements, so when the event handler synchronizes the anchors, they are rendered with the right contents immediately. Firefox, though, renders the page first, and then fires the handler, which results in the anchors getting their initial values, and then changing to proper selections. I've tried calling my init() method immediately after the anchors are defined in my document - no difference, looks like Firefox is rendering everything as soon as it's encountered in the document.
Is there any way to have my code run before any elements are rendered in Firefox? Currently I've "solved" this by hiding the containing div in the document, and showing it after making changes. This results in the UI visually reloading itself with each new page, which is not very desirable either.
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?
Im having some troubles with some functions i launch in $(document).ready() to initialize the page. Then if i click on browser refresh everything goes fine... even more strange when i place alerts between then calls to these functions everything goes fine too... but the first time the page is loaded it seems that the functions are not executed at all.
I recently added a section to my website that uses the Scrollable JQuery tool to load images from my Flickr account. When I initially load the page the "next" button requires two clicks before it will advance to the next set of images. This only happens on the first attempt following the page load. When I look at the code it appears that Scrollable fires an event on the first click that removes the "disabled" class on the "prev" anchor tag. It appears to skip the slider event that scrolls the images. You can view the issue here: [URL].
I'm trying to make it so that when a user clicks on a radio button, the image that is related to the radio button is displayed next to it (without reloading the page). At the moment all it shows is the image related to the currently saved option, which I'd like to keep on page load. Is this possible?
Can JQuery toggle be use to switch divs on page load instead of having to click a button to start the action? What would I have to write in the header to make this happen if this is possible?
I am writing a prgram in php.when i click "log out "button ,it redirects to my first page "index.php".(username & password)and then by clicking back button in the browser ,it showing all my previous pages that i visited.I want to disable back button in the browser (javascript should support in all browser) using javascript or php
I have a jquery-powered "start page" that checks your log in and if successfull it slides in a "menu" of new places to go. The problem is, if you click back from one of the new places, the original "start page" looks as if you never logged in. You have to reload the page. Not very intuitive and this website is for kids. Now I've tried setting form field values with server session variables, javascript variables, etc etc but they all get reset when you click back. I've tried the "onunload hack" which I don't fully understand, and then read a bit about the onhashchange event which is from what I gather only compatible with HTML5 browsers...is there no way to detect if the user is already logged in when they click the back button or am I not doing enough homework?
I use append() to add html fragments to a page dynamically. This works fine until the user navigates to another page and then clicks on the browser back button. The dynamically added html fragments are no longer visible. I read somewhere that dynamically added elements are not remembered by the browser and therefore the back button will only render the original page (without the dynamically added elements).
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.
Named anchors and browser back button? Go here and click through the nav items at the top. Now click the browser back button! See how you have to now go back through all those named anchors? Is there some way using JavaScript (I imagine) to bypass all those?
I have one requiremnt,i.e, How to handle the browser back button event, when User click on the Browser Back button, i need to redirecting the our custom page, i.e Error page.
The following code is working fine in firefox n not working in IE8... I get the Object Expected Error when the code hits the if(GBrowserIsCompatible())..... line in the javascript code. Clear cache and browser history does not work. Does anyone have a resolution for this?
Is there a way in Javascript, or perhaps in HTML, to force a browser to re-render an image on an HTML page after a round-trip between the client and the server ?
In my particular case, the image is changing on the server although the URL for it remains the same, but the browser is still displaying the old image from its cache rather than the new image from its URL location.
I found this script for filtering data in a table:[URL]
However say I type something in the filter, I click a link on the page, and then use the back button...the form resets. Is there a way to prevent this/leave the table filtered?
