HTML back button, controlling attributes...how?

I need a simple back button that will be on the image of a button. I have looked at JS and HTML, and I think HTML is the best route (because of the potential of JS being disabled); let me know if there are other issues of JS vs HTML I have not thought of.
The basic HTML is (I think, this does work):
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Previous Page" onClick="history.go(-1);">
I would like to modify the following, and don't know how:
Font (arial)
Font Size (14)
Link Format
Normal (black no underline)
Rollover (gray 999999 with underline)
Visited (black no underline).
This will allow me to make it look like all other buttons in the site.
Can anyone tell me the code to control these?
Thanks
bob

I figured it out from google.

I found some articles to solve this. If you see the banking sites like icicibank.com(after loggin in), they followed this concept. Their if the user clicks back button then, it''l say like u've clicked back button or your session is expired. Then it'll ask to relogin again.
please refer this link for further information.

How to handle The Back button on Module Pool screen

Hi Gurus,
I have created a module pool screen. In that screen I have used some input/output fields(text box) which i have marked mandatory by making the input field as "required" under program tab.
now when running the screen if no data is entered into these mandatory input field then BACK button does not work. First I have to enter some data into the input filed only then the BACK button works. How should i code so that the back button works even without entering the data into these mandatory fields.

hi,
use AT EXIT-COMMAND with the module.
eg. module user_command at exit command.
then there will be no problem.

OA Framework browser back button

Hello,
How does OA Framework figure out navigation using browser back button?
I am taking an example from the tutorial which comes with JDeveloper.
There are these 2 pages EmpSearchPG(X) and EmployeePG(Y), there is an explict link from X to Y and an implicit link from Y to X (when you create an employee or cancel employee creation process).
This is the scenario
1. You start from page X
2. You go to page Y, by clicking on the link to page Y from page X
3. You come back to page X with browser back button
4. You again go to page Y, by clicking on the link to page Y from page X
In this case control first comes in processRequest of the page X controller and then processFormRequest of the page X controller and
OA Framework does this because it detects the browser Back button navigation. How does OA Framework figure this out?
regards, Yora

Which function are you using for parameter setting? Setting parameter on pageContext will be lost on back button. Use putTransientSessionValue to set the parameter.
But to be on the safer side, now that you have found the reason of NPE as the back browser button, follow the back browser button handling section in Dev guide to handle that scenario also.

How to handle Back button, Browser Refresh problem at server side.

Hi Friends,
How to handle Back button, Browser Refresh problem at server side in java?.
I am able to trace that,
request.getHeader("ACCEPT") is returning value- */*
when the browser was refreshed and returning different MIME types
for all other actions from browser.
I have doubt, will the above solution works always for all servers,browsers?.
Please also specify any solution to handle back button at server side?.
Thanks in Advance.
Venkat..

I'm sorry I don't think tht's the right solution for
the above question....
We must be aware that whatever scripting methdologies
we either javascript/vbscript would executed @
client(browser) side not @ server side....
Dud If U get a good solution keep me updated.....
THANKS & REGARDS,
RAHULMy dear friend ...
the bad news is that u simply cant disable or add any listener to the back button of the browser.
When u hit the back button of ur browser the URL gets re-executed. So in case u have a JSP then the history.forward() is the best solution. [only if the page doesnt get expired similar to secure https sites]
Now dont say that user can have javascript disabled ...those users will have a pretty touch time browsing websites since javascripts r used extensively by almost all websites.
But in case u have an action.do or servlet call then u need to manage it using a session variable since the request will be sent to the server rather than client.
For multiple form submittion issues read the following article in javaworld...
Client vs. server solutions
Different solutions can solve this multiple form submission situation. Some transactional sites simply warn the user to wait for a response after submitting and not to submit twice. More sophisticated solutions involve either client scripting or server programming.
In the client-only strategy, a flag is set on the first submission, and, from then on, the submit button is disabled based on this flag. While appropriate in some situations, this strategy is more or less browser dependent and not as dependable as server solutions.
For a server-based solution, the Synchronizer Token pattern (from Core J2EE Patterns) can be applied, which requires minimal contribution from the client side. The basic idea is to set a token in a session variable before returning a transactional page to the client. This page carries the token inside a hidden field. Upon submission, request processing first tests for the presence of a valid token in the request parameter by comparing it with the one registered in the session. If the token is valid, processing can continue normally, otherwise an alternate course of action is taken. After testing, the token resets to null to prevent subsequent submissions until a new token is saved in the session, which must be done at the appropriate time based on the desired application flow of control.
for more details refer :
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/javatips/jw-javatip136.html
Hope u got the idea.
FYI I have been using both these ideas in my credit card payment gateway project. This concept has worked really well.

How do I use edge commons composition loader to load multiple compositions with a next and back button?

I am working on an interactive book and have set up each page as a separate composition in edge.
I am using the edge commons JS library to load multiple compositions into a main composition.
You can see how this works here: Edge Commons - Extension Library for Edge Animate and Edge Reflow | EdgeDocks.com
The way the edge commons tutorial is set up requires a button for each composition i want to load. I am interested in loading multiple compositions with a "next" and "back" button, and a "swipe left, "swipe right" gesture on the content symbol that each composition is loaded into. I also need the swipe features on the content symbol not to interfere with the interactive elements on the loaded composition.
Please suggest a solution that will work without adding additional scripts beyond edge commons and jquery.

Sort of. I'm using this code inside an action for a button symbol. But it doesn't work perfectly. Trying to debug it.
Let me know if you have any luck.
//Check to see if pageCounter already exists
if (typeof EC.pageCounter === 'undefined') {
// it doesn't exist so initialize it to first page
EC.pageCounter = 2;
//check if the page is only 1 digit -- patch for single digit
if (EC.pageCounter < 9) {
// it is, so we need to pad a 0 on the front.
EC.pageCounterString = "0" + EC.pageCounter;
//e.g. 01 ...09,11,12,13....115,222352,,....
else {
EC.pageCounterString = EC.pageCounter;
EC.loadComposition(EC.pageCounterString + "/publish/web/" + EC.pageCounterString + ".html", sym.$("container"));
EC.pageCounter = EC.pageCounter + 1;
//TODO for back -1

How do you use forward and back button on mouse and use "zoom" in web browser.

Ok so apparently this forum is ruled with an iron fist or something my very honest and truthful problems with these issues seem to have been instantly deleted in my last discussion?
I'll try this once more.
1) How do you use the forward and back button on a mouse without having to buy a product like Steer Mouse? There must be a way to do this without having to buy a program given it's such a useful feature that 99% of users need. I don't want to spend hours researching something that should already work. Any advice?
2) How do you zoom in for web browsers like Chrome without it globally zooming in everything on the monitor (even background applications). I don't want to zoom in background applications. I want to be able to zoom in the web browser and still maintain all the features like the side bar, not just a little magnifying glass type thing.
I'm currently zooming in with the CTRL-Middle Mouse button, but I can't find a way to use this feature so it's useful to browse the web it seems to not scale the browser correctly but rather is a global zoom. Any solution for this?

Thanks so much!
Like I said I am new to Apple products so it's still unclear to me which programs I do or don't need as I'm setting up and configuring all my software and devices.
The Logitech Control Center appears to work perfectly for what I was trying to do!
I accidently clicked "This helped me" instead of "This Solved My Question", sorry about that this was a solve!

How to get the values retained on clicking the back button in jsp page

Hi All,
I had two jsp's search and results. In the search page when i enter some values in the text fields, the rsults will be displayed for that search criteria. I had a back button in the results page. When i click on this back button i will get back to my search page. I am using the following code for this back button.
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE='Back' onClick="javascript:history.go(-1)" class="button">
Now the problem is when i get back to search page using this back button, i am not able to get the values in the search page which i entered, i am getting all blank values. What should i change to get these values back in the search page. Should i maintain any sessions for this?

You have no control at all over the back button process. To the server, it's indistinguishable from the user simply tying the URL of your search page. So, you need to store this data server side*.
When your search page is submitted and processed, store the values you received for each of the fields into the user's session. Then, when the search page is generated, check the session for these values, and for any values that are not null, put their values into the html as the default values for the textboxes and controls you are using. This lets you handle the whole matter on the server's side.
*barring convoluted, unportable, black-magic javascript trickery which you should definitely avoid

How to handle Back button in IA06 BDC

Is there a way to control the "back button"?

i've got a simple animation intro, ending with the very last
key frame being static with links. then the links will bring up
another page in the same window. but i was wondering if there was a
way in flash to control the back button to bring the user to that
very last key-frame, at the end of all the animation. thereby
skipping over the intro-animation.
also:
i have an html intro page, where you can go to the flash
introduction, or the peoples' old website, or to a Flash-Player
download window. i was wondering if there was a way to create a
link to that end key-frame in order to by-pass the animated flash
intro.
thanks for your help

gotoAndPlay(32) if you have a continuos animation after that
frame and you want to continue it; the number within the brackets
is the number of the frame you want to go to. Or else if you want
to go to a particular frame and stop there, gotoAndStop(32);

How to clear parameters defined in selection screen on back button

Hi,
I have a report with parameters, few being input fields, and check boxes. After report is executed when user selects the back button, the selection screen is displayed again but with the old selection values. I want to clear them.
So in the Initialization even I added the code to clear all these parameters;
CLEAR: p_aaa, p_bbb, p_ccc.
I debugged and control passes through this code but still the fields are not cleared and they retain the old input values.
How to clear them ?
thnks

IMO, he only wants to clear the selection screen parameters on the click of 'BACK' button
in the list screen. If the OP clears the selection screen variables in AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT
even, the values assinged to the selection parameters in the INITIALIZATION and with the DEFAULT addition of the PARAMETERS and SELECTION-OPTIONS statements will also be overwritten even when the report is executed for the
first time.

How can i create forward and back buttons for a dreamweaver slideshow?

Hi
I am an illustrator attempting to create a website in dreamweaver (basically it will be an online portfolio). I would like to have a box/slideshow with images of my work that someone can browse through by clicking 'next' and 'back' buttons. Does anyone know how to do this? I have been trying to find out how to do this for ages - i dont want to use flash if possible as i am worried about making the site too complicated. I know how to make swap image thumbnails, but i think my site would be more user friendly (and look more professional) if i could have next and back buttons. Would this involve complicated css code (which scares the life out of me!) or is there a relatively easy way to do it? I have got two 'dreamweaver for idiots' books, but neither of them cover this topic. Can anyone help?

If you are using CS4, there is a Command to create a Web Album... this does it automatically for you.
Otherwise, you can create this manually. Say you have 3 pages,
page1.html (is the index page of the album)
page2.html
page3.html
Therefore, using ordinary text links
Home would link to page1.html
Previous would link to page3.html
Next would link to page2.html
You would need to make adjustments naturally to each page as you move along with the gallery pages, changing the previous and the next links as needed. Below is a a basic example of setting up the links in a simple table structure. You would also then style the table layout as you see fit - yes, using css preferably :-)
<table>
<tr>
<td><h2>MY GALLERY OF PHOTOS</h2>
<a href="page3.html">Previous</a> | <a href="index.html">Home</a> | <a href="page2.html">Next</a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<br>
<a href="../images/img_2401_jpg.jpg"><img src="../images/img_2401_jpg.jpg" border=0></a><br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
Here's an article on creating an album using the DW Command I mentioned earlier. You could create the album and then copy and paste the code into a current page if you've already designed on.,... not too difficult, I just tested it. You do however, need to have Fireworks to process the images.
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ad1.html
You could also check out the Lightbox effect which is very popular:
http://www.lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/
Or do a google search for 'jquery'. There are different album effects using that framework as well.
Hope some of this helps :-)

How to avoid focus issue while navigating via Browser Back button

Hi
I'm facing some problem in setting focus on Buttons.
Please refer application: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=47869:2
login credentials:
Workspace: vsanthanam
user: vijay
pswd: apex_demo
In this application, i have 2 pages.
Page#2 has Submit button
Page#3 has Cancel button
Both buttons are HTML based and can be accessed using access Key ALT + s and ALT + c.
The problem is:
When i go back to previous page (pgid#2) of the application using IE Browser's Back Button from pgid#3,
because of onFocus event set in Submit button, control comes back to pgid#3.
Is there any possible way to set the focus to other items. so that whenever IE brower back button pressed, application would remain in
page#2.
Approaches i took:
If we use onclick, instead of onfocus then again the problem remains since we have to have onfocus = "this.click();" to incorporate Accesskey features.
Another way is onKeyup event. if we use onKeyup, we can avoid this browser back issue, but vanishes access key features.
Any pointers on this would be of great help.
Many Thanks
--Vijay
Please NOTE: I intentionally created two buttons in each page. This is required to have HTML buttons with access key features,
otherwise application gives some flaws in HTML-accesskey.

Thanks a ton Andy!
This is what exactly we require, to change the focus to other items when we move away from page.
application works perfect now.
Thank you once again for your handy solutions.
