How do I return to the "parent" source after following a link in a page source?

After following a link in a page source, I would like to be able to switch back to the 'parent' source. The only option I found is to close the source completely and open the page source once again. A "back" option would be useful here...

Thank you for the fast answer, Tony!
Apparently you misinterpreted my question (or I was not clear enough describing it) because my question has nothing to do with normal surfing. The back & forward buttons are present and fully functional in my browser.
With "page source" I meant the information that can be reached by pressing Ctrl+U. Some page sources contain links to e.g. js scripts. When I click on such a link, indeed the source of the script is shown. At that point there is no turning back to the original page source where the link was in...

  • How to set focus in the parent window after a JOptionPane pop up ?

    I am not able to set the focus back to a JTextField in the parent window after poping up a JOptionpane.showMessageDialog(). I tried requestfocus(),requestFocusInWindow etc......but not working. The code is given below.
    if ((encryptor.encrypt(password)).equals(configuredPasswd)) {
                        validPassword = true;
                   } else {
                        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(saveUI,"The password entered is not correct.");
                        saveUI.getPasswdField().setText("");
    saveUI.getPasswdField().requestFocus();
    Sometimes the focus is coming to the JTextField.Sometimes it appears for a moment and then dissappears.Please give a solution

    see if this makes a difference
    if((encryptor.encrypt(password)).equals(configuredPasswd))
      validPassword = true;
    else
      JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(saveUI,"The password entered is not correct.");
      ActionListener al = new ActionListener(){
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
          saveUI.getPasswdField().setText("");
          saveUI.getPasswdField().requestFocusInWindow();}};
      javax.swing.Timer timer = new javax.swing.Timer(100,al);
      timer.setRepeats(false);
      timer.start();
    }

  • [uzbl] how do I clear the command bar after following a link? [SOLVED]

    It's ridiculous that I've done this again, but I've forgotten how to have uzbl automagically clear the command bar after I fl something. Yes, I know at some point it was on uzbl's wiki page; yes, I did compare my old and new configs; yes, I'm a dork and I'm just not finding the answer.

    The only part of diff that has anything to do with this is:
    < @on_event LOAD_START chain '@set_status <span foreground="khaki">wait</span>' 'event KEYCMD_STRIP_WORD'
    > @on_event LOAD_START @set_status <span foreground="khaki">wait</span>
    The rest is either stuff that I've commented out for now or key bindings, personal settings, etc.
    The follow link code is working now the way that it was before with the above changes. With the old way (as posted above) it wreaks all sorts of havoc with uzbl. By that I mean that the command bar would seem to clear but the data would reappear as soon as another command would start to be entered. As well, backspacing to the beginning of the command line would send uzbl to follow URLs that I didn't specify.
    By the way, no matter if the above is hackish or not, it's close to what I want. The only thing left would be for ESC to clear the numbers if I chose not to do go somewhere. Is there a way to set this up without breaking other functionality?

  • Does not return to inbox (Outlook Express) after following a link

    Just installed Firefox (was using Internet Explorer) and am still using Outlook Express for mail. Under IE, if I clicked on a link from an email, I was returned to my inbox when closing the linked-to window. Now it does not automatically return so I have to manually get back to the inbox.

    You're welcome! It's still a little awkward but I think it's the best way

  • When I click the launchpad, (I have icons on 2 pages) how do I return to the 1st set when the system seems to automatically shift to 2nd page?

    When I click the launchpad, (I have icons on 2 pages) how do I return to the 1st set after the system seems to automatically shift to 2nd page?.
    I'm not aware of anything I might have done, but it's annoying to want to use an icon on the 1st page, only to see all the icons on page 1 shift rapidly to the left
    and I can't find a way to shift back to page 1.
    Is there a way of getting all my Launchpad icons onto 1 page by adjusting their size?

    Thanks for that. I think the 2 little white dots were hidden by the white frame round the desktop picture on my screen
    As you can see from the pic, there is a broad white frame around the image.

    I just updated iOS on my iPhone 5.
    What a shock!! Where is the premium look and feel I bought my iPhone for?
    If I wanted the lokale feel of iOS 7.0 I would have bought a much cheeper taiwanese smartphone.
    Please let me know how I can return to the original look and feel of the iPhone surface I bought my phone for.

    You had plenty of time to look at screenshots on the internet and read various blog posts about iOS 7.

    Dear Friends
    My actual problem description as the following
    I have a form for production order screen , and this form contain header and details blocks , so the user in the details will select Type Code , and he will go the next field that is Item Code Field search for specific Item Code if it is not exist he has to call the Item Definition Form by using this script
    CALL_FORM(ITEM_DEFINITION);
    Then when he finished defining the Item , and I assign the item code as the following in the :
    WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED TRIGGER
    :GLOBAL.ITEM_CODE_VAR := :ITEM_CODE;
    DO_KEY('exit_form');
    But I don't know where to keep this assignment
    :ITEM_CODE := :GLOBAL.ITEM_CODE_VAR;
    inside the caller form in which trigger do I have to use when it return from the caller form it should assign the :GLOBAL.ITEM_CODE_VAR to the :ITEM_CODE and the cursor it should show inside the ITEM_CODE , and as I mention it does not return to the same location of The ITEM_CODE when it return from the calling form
    Waiting for your valuable answer .
    With example please .

  • How can I return to the Classic address book 3 pane view?

    How can I return to the Classic address book 3 pane view  & get rid of the stupid fake leather and same for iCal?

    I asked the same question at the Apple Genius Bar a week or so ago and they said there was no way to change it.  I am with you - do not like this new format at all and would love it if Apple would offer both -maybe when they do an "fix" next?  This was one change in Lion that should not have been made from Snow Leopard.  I am really sorry I upgraded at this point.

  • I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? Thank You, Carol Roberts

    I downloaded the newest version of firefox today 8/16/11 and now I cannot use Evernote (nor does clipmarks work from before) this is unacceptable. How do I return to the earlier version of firefox? If there is no way to do this, then I will have to use internet explorer so I hope you can help me with this. Thank You, Carol Roberts

    Until Evernote updates their add-on to mark it compatible with Firefox 6, you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Add-on Compatibility Reporter] to try re-enabling it yourself.
    You can also downgrade to a previous version of Firefox from [https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ this archive], but please be warned that some old versions of Firefox have known security bugs that are fixed in later versions.

    Try a 2 finger swipe left or right to change screens. If that doesn't work go to System Preferences/Trackpad/More Gestures and set it up.

  • How can I return to the previous browsing page in the App store?

    How can I return to the previous browsing page in the App store?

    Thanks for your reply but problem not solved. If I have reached page 5 for example, I can not go back to the previous page 4. Instead it goes back to page 1 when I use the back track arrows, gestures or the back or forward commands!! The girl at my local Apple dealer says that it can't be done. This should be a very basic browsing function in the App Store. I know other people have the same problem.

  • How can I return to the initial text state in a UITextView? a UITextField

    For iphone 4, the appilications don't really close after they are quited.
    The problem is, it will preserve your states of, say, text view.
    I want to return to initial state after I quit the view of text view.
    For example, after I read a story, I would like it to begin with the first line when I start to read the second time. I don't want to take action returing to the first line.
    I wonder if there is a simple way to do so?
    Can anyone tell me how?
    A thousand of thanks!!

    sorry, that is not what I want to do.
    I want to return to the initial state before I quit the app.
    Actually, I want to return to the intial state after I click a row in a table the second time.
    Sorry, I didn't say clearly.

  • How do I return to the default home page?

    I have just changed themes on Firefox, and I can't minimize the page - no minimize button. How do I return to the Firefox default page?

    Hi FayM-C,
    You can go to ''Tools > Add-ons'' and disable the theme you installed. You could also start Firefox in Safe Mode by holding down ''Shift'' while it is starting and disable all themes and plugins.
    Hopefully this helps!
