Display data when Back button of Browser is pressed

Hi All,
Thanks for Reading my query.
I have an issue with display of data in Jsp page:
I have 2 JSP pages, wherein i entered data in page1 and clicked submit to see page2.Now i pressed back button of browser and im able to see data which i entered.I require the feilds in page1 to be cleared when back button is pressed in page2.Could any one please tell me how to handle this issue.
Please help me out.
cheers,
sharath

you can use the HTML header set pragma - no-cache expires - 0 and cache-control - no cache property so whenever you will press back button of browser it will show the message page has been expired. You can find the proper syntax on any HTML site

Disable page display when back button is pressed after logout

hi,
I dont want the old pages to appear once the back button is pressed after loggin g out. That is .... when logged in, if the user presses back button then his previous pages must be shown....but once the user logs out and then if he presses back button then some message like session has been closed....like message should be displayed.
Hope you understood the problem

If you expire a page then back button will not take it to the previous page.
expire is a HTTP-EQUIV meta tag in the header of the page. You can set the content to some time in the "past" when serving the page first time.
Expires
This tells the browser the date and time when the document will be considered "expired." If a user is using Netscape Navigator,
a request for a document whose time has "expired" will initiate a new network request for the document.
An illegal Expires date such as "0" is interpreted by the browser as "immediately." Dates must be in the RFC850 format, (GMT format):
<META HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="Wed, 26 Feb 1997 08:21:57 GMT"> Hope this works for you, there are browser dependencies as well.

What to do when 'Back' button is pressed on the browser

Hi,
In my APEX application, 2 of my pages have updateable reports.
When I carry out the following sequence of steps :
* enter data into the first updateable report page,
* submit the page
* branch to the second updateable report page by clicking on a 'next' button
* click on the 'Back' button in the browser
* this takes you back to the first updateable report page
* click on 'next' to branch to the second updateable report page again
the following error message is encountered :
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current checksum = "906775940285549CB76B11266BA4E3FF", item checksum = "D52870AB188799BE563B8BE7E53DB2AF"., update <name of table that updeable report is based on>
How can I prevent this error message from appearing when the user clicks 'back' and then submits the page?
Many Thanks.

Andy,
Thanks for sticking with it. I read (past tense) the OP's description both ways.
click on 'next' to branch to the second updateable report page again
the following error message is encountered :
Error in mru internal routine: ...Why would that error occur after a redirect from a Next button?
So I don't know what the exact scenario really is, but it seems to me that if you submit a page and it updates the row and the page branches back to itself, the resulting page now current in the browser is "submittable" whether you submit it at once or navigate (by redirect) away from it and then go back through the browser history to retrieve it and then submit it. That the OP got the error she got makes me think the Next button is an Apply Changes and Fetch Next Row kind of button.
In any case, I don't think clearing session state is a remedy.

Redirect when Back Button is clicked

I have 4 pages in my application:
Page1.asp (form page using the POST Method)
Page2.asp (Insert to Database script + Redirect to Page3.asp)
Page3.asp (Page displaying the the confirmation of insertion)
The problem I'm facing is that once on Page3.asp (confirmation page), if the user hits the Back Button, it brings him back to Page1.asp with the form already filled with data previously entered. Eventually, the data can be inserted twice.
Is there a way to redirect the user to say Page4.asp when clicking the back button from Page3.asp?

I tried that but when the user clicks the Bak Button from the Browser, it doesn't see the Session Variable right away, unless the page refreshes. Is there a way to refresh that page when the user clicks the Back Button?

How to clear the portal form fields while clicking on Back button in browser?

Hi All,
I have a portal form, which calls another form. When I types in a value and presses submit, it goes to the new
form with the information on it. When I click on the back button in the browser, it will show the last value user
has entered. I want to clear these values, when I click on the back button in the browser.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & regards,
Nevin

Lets assume that the name of the field, whose value you want to clear off,
is SEARCH_TEXT :-
Steps :-
1> Edit the form and goto the Additional PL/SQL Section
2> Add the following code to the "...after displaying the page" area
declare
l_form_name varchar2(200);
l_sess_id integer;
begin
l_form_name := p_session.get_module().get_name();
l_sess_id := p_session.get_id();
htp.p('<script>
var fieldName = "'||l_form_name||'.DEFAULT.SEARCH_TEXT.01";
var formObj = document.WWVM'||l_sess_id||';
for (var i=0; i < formObj.length; i++){
if (formObj.elements.name == fieldName){
formObj.elements[i].value = "";
break;
</script>
end;

How to resubmit the form when back button pressed

Hi,
In my application, iam implementing searching,
when i submitting the form, i got some records and i navigated all the results through next and previous buttons.
Problem occurs when i clicked on back button, it is showing "page expires and asking for resubmit the data".
How can i show the previous page, when user clicked on back button.
Iam using struts 1.0 and ibatis
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance,
Mohan

Hi mohan,
try to store your search indices in a vector and put that vector in the session scope. at page first loading you get the first index from your vector and pass it in the request scope in your action class, due to the page you have to find a way to understand the passed index in request scope and translate it to the searched word location.really I have not a code sample, but it is just an idea.
feel free to ask me.
Thanks.

JS problem w/ back button on browser

If anyone has a solution for this I would REALLY appreciate it!
Please go to this url and click on the first thumbnail:
http://www.atelierviollet.com/dev-2011/30/straw-marquetry.html
You'll see a large image and 3 thumbnails. When you click on a thumbnail it swaps out the large image. I did that using dreamweavers behaviors. Now if you click the back button on your browser and it doesn't return to the previous web page. The thumbnails put a "#" in the url so you have to click "back" multiple times.
I want it to function so that users can click the multiple thumbnails and then click "back" on their browser and return to the previous html page. Can anyone help?!
Thanks in advance

When used within a link like that, a return false kills the link. In other words -
<a href="foo.html" onclick="return false">FOO</a>
This element will behave just like a link, but you can click on it until you are blue in the face and you won't go anywhere.
In fact, you *should* use this method on any *null* event links you have on any page that look like this -
<a href="#" onclick="..."
Make sense?

How to retain the java applet generated code when back button is pressed!!

I've a jsp page in which i've wirtten the code which specifies the word which i write in the text box, then through the applet i'm showing the word which is written in the text box. It means my applet is running and it show the words which i've written in the text box. Now when i click on submit it goes to the next page and when i click on browser's back button then except the applet generated code everyone retains its values. Is there any way to find it out when it encounter the back button click then applet should be restarted. so in this way without writing the whole application form and in the applet generated code i can submit it again.
My question is how do i reatin the applet generated code when a click button is being pressed (b'coz for the textbox, textareas everything retains it)
any suggestions or guidance are most welcome.
thanks in advance....

you don't need to navigate explicitly. Just clear the back stack till your specific page and say goback. below is the code you can use.
protected override void OnBackKeyPress(System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
e.cancel=true;
RemoveBackStackTillSpecificPage("page2.xaml");
GoBack();
public static void RemoveBackStackTillSpecificPage(string pageName)
PhoneApplicationFrame frame = Application.Current.RootVisual as PhoneApplicationFrame;
var previousPage = frame.BackStack.FirstOrDefault();
if (previousPage != null && previousPage.Source != null)
while (!previousPage.Source.ToString().Contains(pageName))
frame.RemoveBackEntry();
previousPage = frame.BackStack.FirstOrDefault();
public static void GoBack()
PhoneApplicationFrame frame = Application.Current.RootVisual as PhoneApplicationFrame;
LastPageUri = frame.Source;
frame.GoBack();

How to go to previous page in windows phone 8 when back button is pressed

I have a home page or landing page in my windows phone c# based app where user enters login details and upon successful login user is redirected to page2 . Here the user will see a list box with few items . Upon selecting an item from this list box a new
page called "Threadx" opens.(where x is the each page that opens upon clicking the x item in the list box)
While user is on this Thread page "Threadx" he may receive the toast notifications and the thread gets updated with new replies or answers on that thread.
But When user clicks on back button the "ThreadX" page doesn't get closed and instead it goes to its previous state where it has less number of messages , and so on until the app gets closed.
protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)
base.OnNavigatedTo(e);
if (e.NavigationMode == NavigationMode.Back)
return;
I would like to know if this "Threadx" page can be closed upon clicking back button without affecting other "Threadx+1","Threadx+2"..."Threadx+n" pages.
Any help would be really appreciated.

CallOut when back button is used

Hello,
I have a problem, i open a callOut modal, until here everything is nice. But when the user type on back button (the back button of Android device) the application back's to other view (OK) but the callOut is on the screen.
Any suggestions???

I found a solution:
1. Listener is not the component itself but systemManager.stage
2. Listen event in the capture phase like systemManager.stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, backKeyHandler, true)
3. In the handler if(e.keyCode == Keyboard.BACK)e.preventDefault();
