Back (history.back()) After Refresh
May 29, 2006I have a webpage popup (lets call it POPUP) which refreshes the opener window (this one we call PARENT) when we close it, saying we want to save data. For this, we use
top.oWndOpener.refresh();
When we don't want to save the POPUP data, we just close the popup and
don't refresh the PARENT. In the PARENT we have a "Back" link which executes a simple
history.back()
The problem is:
If we refresh parent, we need to go back 2 pages, because the refresh
method adds another page to the history. But we have no (easy) way of
knowing in the PARENT if it had been refreshed. With this, our users
are forced to click two times in the Back link.
Is there anyway of going back to the previous page, no matter how many
refreshes happened in the current one ?
Using History.back()
Aug 3, 2007I have a form with a "Print" button on the page. When the user clicks this it doesn't actually print but opens a condensed version of the page, passing the field contents with php. On the new (condensed) page I capture the load of the page in js and when it occurs issue the command print(). This works fine.
But once I've done this (printed) I would like to return to my original form. I've tried
if (print()) history.back()
print()
history.back()
neither seems to work. As an experiment I put the following code at the bottom of my condensed page that prints...
<FORM>
<INPUT type="button" value="Click here to go back" onClick="history.back()">
</FORM>
Clicking on the resulting button does exactly what I want... clears the form and returns me to my original.
I just don't what to
a) print the form with that button on it
b) require user input after the printing.
So... can anyone point me in a way of making history.back() work outside of an onClick construct?
Javascript History Go Back
Jan 11, 2007I'm attempting to use the javascript 'history.go(-1);' to make a page automatically return to the last page a user visited. At the moment, I can get this to work ONLY if I insert a link into the page.
What I want to happen is, the page autmatically sends the user back to the previous page after a set time. I have this for my JS:
function backtomusic() {
window.location = history.go(-1);
}
And in the body section of my page I have:
<body onLoad="setTimeout('backtomusic()', 3000)">
When it runs I get an error saying 'undefined' in the browser address bar
Any ideas?

History.back() Onclick With DOM
Sep 22, 2005Have a slideshow navigation and want to put a DOM onubtrusive JS that finds the <a> in <li id="nav-back">and executes history.back() with a onclick handler. No worry about JS disabled because then I use a other link that is hidden when JS is enabled ...
Some questions-ideas
What do i need to put in the <a href="??"> of <li id="nav-back"> ?
And the script I started see below, should it be written like that ??
History.back() works perfectly cross-browser in DOM capable browsers ??
This is the HTML
<div id="navwrap">
<ul id="nav">
<li id="nav-prev"><a href="#" title="go to previous image">previous</a></li>
<li id="nav-back"><a href="#" title="go to overview of images">back to overview</a></li>
<li id="nav-forward"><a href="#" title="go to next image">next</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
Is this how to do go about it
if (!document.getElementbyId) {return;}
var backButton = document.getElementbyId('nav-back').document.getElementBytagname('a')
backButton.onclick = history.back();
}
Is it possible to show in the title tag that last history entry ?

<a href="javascript:history.back()" name="Back" value="Back"

but since this href exists in a frame, it only pertains to this frame?
Looping Through History.back() Until A Different Page
Jan 18, 2007On a page of mine a user might submit data several time, which adds an
entry to the history each time (similar as
http://www.google.com/trends?q=iPod...o=all&date=all).
Yet later the user wants to go back to the previous page in one step.
Now is it possible to loop backwards through the history until a
different page is reached? Has anybody coded something like this?

Back Button Detect With Same Page In History
Nov 27, 2009I have a photo gallery that cycles images using custom buttons and replacing images from an javascript array. I do this so that I don't reload the page each time, just put up the next image so the next image (preloaded) appears instantly. I change the URL to include the image name so that it can be saved, linked, sent etc.
If I load the page and cycle through some pictures and then use the back button I can't find a way of detecting this and putting up the previous image - it just changes the URL in the browser and eventually unloads the page when it should.
History.back() - Div With The Controls Doesn't Show
Dec 2, 2009I have a page which I've just added a div to so that it will show/hide 'advanced' search options. The problem is that I've not found a way to 'show' the div when a history.back() command is used.
First off I had it so that the div style was display:none. Site user would click on 'Refine Your Search' to show the additional fields. That worked fine, but the customer wants it so that when they go back from the search results to the search page it 'remembers' which boxes were ticked.
The problem is that when it does the history.back(), the 'Refine Your Search' radio button is selected but the div with the controls doesn't show. So, thinking I was clever I thought of an alternative way to skin this cat .
Instead of having the style of the div set as display:none I would set it as display:block and then have a javascript function that would set it to display:none when the page initialised. That way the 'default' state for the div would be display:block.
No dice...even though in the source code it shows the style of the div as being display:block the div STILL doesn't show.
The search page is at: [url]
Click on 'refine your search', tick a box (e.g. air conditioning) and then click the search button. Then at the bottom of the results page click the link to go back. You'll see the problem.

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

Go Back History Button On Top Frame That Affects Main Frame?
Oct 15, 2001Im trying to make a back button that reloads the previous page the user was at.
The back button will be on a small top frame and the page that needs to be controlled will be in the main frame.
The top frame is just a navigation system, and all pages will be loaded in the main frame.
Im trying to use this Code:
<FORM>
<INPUT TYPE="button"
NAME="back"
VALUE="BACK"
onClick="history.go(-1)">
</FORM>
Does anyone know how I could accoplish the desired result using this code, or any other code? And what about a foreward button?

View 2 Replies View RelatedBack - Forward Browser Button For Iframe - Bring Back/forward Iframe Or Top Window?
Jan 24, 2011I 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?

Moving Focus Back To A Previous Window And Reloading?
Jan 28, 2011I want users to work from a main application. Certain things will need to be done but the users wont want to see the main screen go away while doing these certain things. So my idea is to just open a new window with the content they need, they'll make their changes, the new window will close but then I want the main page to reload.What I've done now is at the end of the script that will be run prior to the new window closing is added this (its a php app):
echo "<script>window.close();</script>";
echo "<script>window.opener.location.reload(true);</script>";
Sometimes this works in IE and Firefox but never in Chrome. I know I've seen this done before on other sites, but I cant think of what they are.

Function On Back Button Press Of The Brower Window?
Sep 22, 2010We 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.
