Cannot use my back button on one site can click on pages

When I load the main page it comes right up and if I click on sub pages they display but if I try to use the back button to go back they will not load. I have cleared cache and it does not help.

You can move on to Firefox if you wish, but you will still have an underlying problem with your OSX install if Safari is not working for you as it does for most everybody else.

    * If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear (Firefox 3.6 on Windows) (see [[Menu bar is missing]]).
    * Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
    * If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
    * If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
    * If you do not see that item then click the Restore Default Set button in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.

  • Firefox will not load pages when I use my back button

    It is just doing this on the one site

    Does this happen when you are both logged in and out of the website? I have tried accessing the website myself and I am able to access the site and use the back button on this site without logging into the site. If this only happens when you log into the site most likely it has to do with the login session that causing this problem.

  • Safari why can I not use the back button

    Hi;
    Ever since I upgraded tp Mountain Lion I cannot use the back button to return to an previous website.
    It seems I can only use the back button if I am going back within the current web site.
    In other words:
    I am in website A and go to a website B (home Page) and in website B I open another page, when I hit the back button it will go back to the home page of website B BUT then the back button is gray and no longer allows to to go back to the website A.
    Yes, there are tabs that have web pages but they are shortened.
    Thanks
    Greg

    Thanks, Not sure why when I got mountain lion it dropped it.
    Thanks again
    Greg

  • Mozilla won't let me use the back button. How do I enable it?

    I recently downloaded Mozilla. I like it but the only thing that I cannot do is use the back button. It won't let me use it. The color that highlights the back button is dimmed. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

    Do you get a drop-down list if you keep the left mouse button pressed on the Back button?
    You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • How to use a back button in action pages?

    Hi all,
    I have created a user login page,home page and user profile page.
    If the user provide correct username and password in the login page he will be taken to home page.
    In the home page he will be having his username and a link to view his profile.
    When the user click on the link "My Profile(user profile)" he wil be taken to that page.
    In my profile page the user can edit only his firstname,lastname and password .
    On the user profile page i have placed a Back Button(using javascript: on onclick event i have used history.back()) to go back to home page after editing his profile.
    If the user edit his profile for n-number of times then atlast if he wants to go back to home page-then he wil cilck the back button.
    Now the problem occurs like the back button not going to home page and it simply going back with the edited history.
    How to use a back button in action pages; without repeating the actions done on the page; how to redirect to the users home page?
    I simply used the hyperlink in userprofile page to go to home page but when i click onit it is displaying blank home page.
    I'm using hibernate orm mapping; cflogin and cflogout tags.
    Any help appreciated,

    I can see your problem. You may use javascript:history.go(-1), javascript:history.go(-2), ..., to go back one page, two pages, and so on. But how does one go back an arbitrary n pages? The link href="home.cfm" isn't a good solution for the browser. It makes a new call to the server which, as you may have discovered, can overwrite all the changes made at the browser. 
    You should use the Javascript variable history.length. If you open n links in succession, starting from page0.cfm, then the browser holds the value of history.length as n. So, experiment with something like
    <a href="javascript:history.go(-history.length)">Go home</a>
    or
    <a href="javascript:history.go(-history.length+1)">Go home</a>

  • Can't navigate using back button from web gallery linked to iweb page

    I have a web gallery that I enabled as a hyperlink to my iweb site. When I go to the gallery from a web page, I don't have any problem navigating to the gallery to view photos, but I am unable to navigate back to the web page using the "back" button. Instead I have to relaunch my web page in Safari; otherwise I would be "stuck" on the gallery unable to navigate to other web pages.
    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Load the gallery in your browser and copy the URL.
    Create a text or image link and in the "Link" inspector select it as an eternal link.
    Paste the gallery URL into the box and check "Open link in new window".
    This way, the gallery window can be opened and closed but your original webpage will remain.

    Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.
    This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.

    I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
    I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser.

  • Zoom following use of back button on Android

    Hi,
    On Android Firefox, say I an on a web page and either zoom in using double tap or pinch and then click a link on the page. Firefox displays the page. All good.
    If I then use the back button to return to the previous page, Firefox will not display the page as it was previosly zoomed in. It requires me to either zoom in again by double tap or pinch.
    Is the a setting or add-on that will preserve the zoomed in state after returning to a previous page using the back button?
    Thanks in advance.

    Dito- in the past "the browser resets the zoom and scroll positions when navigating to a new page, and this can happen while the old page is still visible. The old page does not actually reload; it just scrolls to the top before the new page loads."
    The only current bugs I find are: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=zoom%20reflow&list_id=10103041]
    So, I can recommend filing a bug on this in Firefox for Android Zoom [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Firefox%20for%20Android&component=Graphics%2C%20Panning%20and%20Zooming]

  • Private Window allows previously visited pages to be seen using the Back button.

    Private windows seem to be less private than non-Private windows:-
    1) In a Private Window the Back button allows previously visited pages to be determined.
    2) In a non-Private window Clear History removes previously visited pages (so that they aren't accessible using the Back button).
    3) Clear History (Ctrl-Shift-Delete) isn't available in Private windows.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • My iPod touch's menu button literally sank in and now I am unable to use my iPod totally because I cannot press the menu button at all. Can Apple rectify this if I send it to a service center?

    You should definetely contact an apple store! If your warranty is valid they will probably fix it for free. Until then go to settings, general, accessibility, assisive touch and turn it on. A circle will appear that does exactly what your home button does.

  • Only in Firefox, a button on my web page is disabled after going to a page, then back using the back button.

    I have a web application that contains a physicians search page:
    http://www.hshsmedicalgroup.com/SearchPhysician.aspx
    I do the following:
    Select "find a physician"
    Type "Smith"
    Press "search"
    Select Smith entry
    Press "back" on browser
    "search" button is now disabled
    Only happens when you get back using the Back button.
    This doesn't happen in I.E. or Chrome.
    I see the issue in Firefox 3.6.13, 4.0 and 4.01.
    OS: Windows XP, Windows 7 and Mac.

    I would suspect a slightly incompatible addon of causing that to happen.
    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
    You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''
