Annoying back button behavior

New Mac user. I find that often, not always, hitting the back button displays a list of previously visited sites instead of just returning to the previous site - is there a fix for this?

Ok. Then this is not normal behavior. As first step, do you have the most recent version of OS X and of Safari? According to your signature, you don't. You should update to OS X 10.6.7 and Safari 5.0.4. Assuming that doesn't fix it, the next step is to create a new user account and test it to see if the same thing happens there. To do that:
- Go to >System Preferences>Accounts
- Click on the + sign to add a new account (you may have to enter you admin password). Just name is test or temp or something like that.
- Log out of your normal account and into the new one. Try Safari and see if it still happens. Note that your trackpad preferences won't carry over to this new account. So, for example, if you had Tap To Click enabled, it won't be by default in this account, but you can set them how you like in >System Preferences>Trackpad.
Let me know if the problem persists in the new account (I'm guessing it won't).

Change in back button behavior

We are upgrading from ColdFusion 9 to ColdFusion 11. We noticed a change in back button behavior. On pages running CF 9 the back button works, but on pages running CF 11, when clicking the back button, we get a browser "confirm form resubmission" message. Since it is the same browser, it is clearly a change in ColdFusion. Does anyone know when the change was made? Is there a setting that controls the behavior?
Thank you,
David

We should ignore the difference in Coldfusion version for a moment. It might just be that the previous behaviour was incorrect and what you now observe, with CF11, is the correct behaviour.
A form-resubmit warning is essential. In fact, it can even be vital in certain circumstances. It is telling you that someone, some process or some thread has attempted to resubmit a form.
In your case, clicking the back button apparently refreshes the action page of the form. This is analogous, in business terms, to repeating an order that has already been placed. The related validation code, queries, etc. will run once again. Obviously an unwelcome situation.

Forward/Back button behavior updated in v. 2 release?

Hi, does anyone know if the button behavior on the remote control has been updated in the new software release? Previously when watching recorded videos it skipped forward in three minute increments. While paused it would jump 10 seconds I think.
Skipping forward thirty seconds would be a lot better for me.
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the link. Out of curiosity, is this using a level

would be way too advanced for a beginner to even consider?

Help me to resolve this URGENT: browser back button behavior

Hi All
How can I force my application to give the following error in click of back button of browser or backspace .
Warning: Page has Expired The page you requested was created using information you submitted in a form. This page is no longer available. As a security precaution, Internet Explorer does not automatically resubmit your information for you.
To resubmit your information and view this Web page, click the Refresh button.
hmm I am using no-cache, no-store and expire '0', Mine is struts application with resin as App server.

HEY, take it easy, sometime knowing the reason for a thing may help to find another solution for the same problem. We are here to help, some people really help other one only tries to. In any case there is no need to be rude, nobosy here is working for you or have an obligation to answer you.
1.- this should be on the j2ee forum place, because is everyone posts here all other section will be empty of people and answers, so please help yo keep all the forums running well. And may get better answers on less time.
2.- I assume you are uusing J2ee and not applets. That may be a 100% different thing to fix that.
3.- Can you post some architecture of the pages call to see, its different if its a home page than its a result of nested calls.
4.- I guess you should do something like this to solve your peoblem:
if using html forms inside a jsp as I guess you are using. You can get the JSP be call from a servlet that introduce inside the form a unique random created value inside a hidden type input. so each time you press the back button the cached jsp will be called and the unique number wont match with the new attention requirement. All you need for that is a shared resource between the 2 servlets. Maybe a EJB or something. It depends a lot on how are you doing the pages call. for that we need to know that. In anycase the message you are trying to get os not from your app, but from the browser, so you may need to implement something like security certificates to have that, but if not you may use a patched own solution like the one I gave you.

Xcode 3 Help Viewer and Back Button silliness

I like the changes and additions they have in the Xcode 3 help viewer, except for this annoying back button behavior. When I click a link in the documentation, it goes to the topic. Then when I click the back button, it opens the previous page in a new Safari window. Whoever programmed this will get a visit from me

Having issues with longMessage and back button usage

Hello,
I have part of an app that consists of 2 pages. The first page is a set of checkboxes and an Analyze (submit) button. when the user hits Analyze, I commit the transaction and forward to the second page which displays the checkboxes they checked and some other information regarding those choices. If a user wants to change their answers, they use the browser's back button and change their choices, then click Analyze again. This is working fine.
I now want to add a longMessage to each checkbox above with some additional information about each choice. I've setup these up and they work fine; the dialog box launches just fine when they click the little (i) icon.
So that's the status quo; here's my problem:
Scenario
1. User clicks one of the longMessage icons
2. clears that box by clicking OK
3. then hits Analyze to progress to the second page
4. now user hits browser's Back button to go back to questions
5. PROBLEM
At this point, all my checkboxes are blank. If I try to re-check one and hit Analyze, I get an error stating "No current row for View (XXXLProcNavVO1)"
If I don't ever click a longMessage icon, everything works fine. I can only replicate this if I follow the exact steps in the scenario.
So what is wrong? Why am I losing my current row in my VO when I use the longMessage?
I've included my CO from page 1 for reference below.
Thanks!

Custom error message for Back Button Error

I am using JDeveloper 9. I have tried to create a custom error message to handle a "Back button" press.
But the error message is usually ignored and the system's regular "Stale data" message appears. Is there a way to prevent the system's message from appearing and to raise a custom error message?

Do the following coding in your processRequest() of the Create or udpate page.
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
// If isBackNavigationFired = false, we're here after a valid navigation
// (the user selected the Create button) and we should proceed
// normally and initialize a new employee.
if (!pageContext.isBackNavigationFired(false))
// We indicate that we are starting the create transaction (this
// is used to ensure correct Back button behavior). Note that you
// can assign whatever name you want to your transaction unit.
TransactionUnitHelper.startTransactionUnit(pageContext, "empCreateTxn");
// This test ensures that we don't try to create a new employee if
// we had a JVM failover, or if a recycled application module
// is activated after passivation. If these things happen, BC4J will
// be able to find the row that you created so the user can resume
// work.
if (!pageContext.isFormSubmission())
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
// Call your method to handle creating the new row.
am.invokeMethod("createEmployee", null);
else
if (!TransactionUnitHelper.isTransactionUnitInProgress(pageContext, "empCreateTxn", true))
// Get the purchase order number from the request.
String orderNumber = pageContext.getParameter("headerId");
MessageToken[] tokens = { new MessageToken("PO_NUMBER", orderNumber)};
OAException message = new OAException("ICX", "FWK_TBX_T_PO_UPDATE_CONFIRM", tokens,
OAException.CONFIRMATION, null);
// We got here through some use of the browser "Back" button, so we
// want to display a state loss error and disallow access to the page.
// If this were a real application, we would probably display a more
// context-specific message telling the user they can't use the browser
// "Back" button on the "Create" page. Instead, we wanted to illustrate
// how to display the Applications standard NAVIGATION_ERROR message.
OADialogPage dialogPage = new OADialogPage(message);
pageContext.redirectToDialogPage(dialogPage);
} // end processRequest()

LOve Firefox but it's annoying that if I'm using a search engine (I use lots of subscription legal search databases), when I press the back button all the data I entered in the search boxes has disappeared. I'm sure Firefox didn't use to do that?

Love Firefox but it's annoying that if I'm using a search engine (I use lots of subscription legal search databases), when I press the back button all the data I entered in the search boxes has disappeared. I'm sure Firefox didn't use to do that?

Please do the following. 
#Click the Firefox button, go to '''Options '''| '''Options''' | '''Privacy'''. 
#In the dropdown menu at the top, change it to "'''Use custom settings for history'''" 
#Checkmark the option: "'''Remember Search and Form history'''". 
#Remove the checkmark from: "'''Clear history when Firefox closes'''".

Keep getting "Document Expired" when hitting back button! Very annoying

BACK button, Annoying Message

hey guys, i've just upgraded to Safari 3.2.3 and almost every time i click the back button a message "Are you sure you want to send a form again?" and it comes up TWICE!!!!
how can i get rid of it??

Hi
First, trash your Safari Preference file - com.apple.safari.plist file in Your User Account>Library>Preferences folder. Restart Safari.
Then, go to the Safari Menu>Reset Safari. Select "cache", then reset.
Now, reset any Safari custom preference settings, making sure you leave the "ask before sending..." option unchecked.
Let me know if that removes the prompt.

Behavior of browser 'back' button

Will someone please explain why the following happens because it is just, plain bad design.
Consider a forum which has multiple pages. Go to, say, the second page and read a thread. Now hit the 'back' button on your browser. Surprise! You are now back to the top of the first page in the forum!
As I said before, such a design is just plain stupid.

Pat, that workaround was officially posted here
in January
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/556265?tstart=0
but the problem has not been corrected. And there are older ones, such as this one posted more than a year ago with the problem still with us:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/416502?tstart=0
There is also a well known workaround for the extra line breaks problem, which I forget and/or refuse to use. And I can (and do) change manually the font in my messages from a tiny bad copy of Helvetica -designed for printing many decades before screens- to a Verdana specially designed for easy reading on screen, because I want to be able to read easily at least my own messages. But, why should users of a well designed site be forced to keep on resorting to workarounds for even the simplest tasks???
Extra line break kindly provided by the non updated software of this site.

Back button in Firefox no worky

When checking my gmail and hotmail accounts, the back button fails to return to my previous page. For example, I can click the little down arrow along the right-side of the navigation button and see that Google is let's say five (three, ten, one, seven it doesn't matter) pages down the history list but I cannot get there with the back button in any way, shape or form. I can click all day long and I remain at the same page.
This is a common problem that has been around for awhile (search it yourself) and has not been addressed in any fashion.
1. No, clearing the cache does nothing.
2. No, I have no add-ons or extensions.
3. No, this behavior is not present in Internet Explorer 8 or 9.
4. Yes, I'm running the latest version - 3.6.13.
I would really like to use Firefox but with all the bugs, and this one especially, I'm forced to use IE. A significant reason for using a particular browser is ease of use. You folks may have a more secure browser than IE but at least IE works and doesn't feel like I'm driving over a pothole ridden road.
And nice attempt to discourage forum participation - seriously, can you make it any more cumbersome to post comments?

Same thing for me: In Hotmail, if i search on something and it returns a group of emails with that something in it. I click and read one of them. Then I want to return to my search results, but am not able to. Hitting the BACK button, everything just sits there and it still says Done in the bottom-left corner. So I wait in case it's really gonna do something. But it doesn't. So I hit BACK again and it just goes to my Inbox. Search results are gone.
I've done this a million times recently. It's not a one-time thing. Completely annoying.

Sometimes my back button is greyed out and does not show the previous page i was just looking at!?

This randomly happens and i can not tell exactly what i do or why.
All i know is that every time you visit a page,site, picture etc... the back button remembers every page you have just been too in that session.
However some times the back button goes grey and i can not click on it and it loses all the previous pages i have been to.
I can reopen the last pages by going to my history but it's really annoying as it takes time and as i surf and look at a lot of things, the back button is crucial for me.

I am experiencing the same problem with the back button randomly being greyed out and not functional. If I navigate to the same page a second time, the back button is usually functional again... have not been able to associate this behavior with any particular site

Back button doesn't function properly

Firefox 3.6.12
OS X 10.6.2
If I'm on, say, page 3 of a forum and I read a post, if I hit the Back button in my browser it takes me back to page 1 rather than page 3. Super-unfriendly and annoying behavior... does this happen to anyone else?
(Why Adobe didn't just use known-great forum software like phpBB I'll never know...)

Found a way to get around the problem with the Back button.
Say I want to read a few posts on page 2 of a forum; I read the first post, then click on the 'Up to Discussions in ...' once. This will modify the URL in the address bar to http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments?view=discussions&start=30
After this I can use the Back button from every topic on that page, and it will always go to the same page 2 (start=30). Of course the same will work on every subsequent page.
