Previous page button problem

Hi,
I have Safari in Windows and a major problem with the "back" button to return to the previous page.
If I have several tabs open, if I click that button, it acts on all tabs, not only the active one.
The tabs are open from a bookmark folder I have and I ask "open in tabs".
Then, a back click and all tabs return to the welcome page (and all tabs close).
Is this normal?
Any way to stop this?
Thanks for any help.

For those with the problem,
instead of clicking the previous page button, press the backspace key.

Back/previous page button?

Hi All,
I'd like to add a back/previous page button to my website to make it more user friendly as its going to be a fairly big site, can anyone advise me on the best way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Many ways to do this trivial task. These buttons are simple hyperlinks and you can use background images to make them visually attractive. But try this simple method :
1) Set up your HTML code like this:
<input class="general" type="button" value="Back" onClick="window.location='http://www.google.com' "/>
<input class="general" type="button" value="Top" onClick="window.location='http://www.adobe.com' "/>
<input class="general" type="button" value="Next" onClick="window.location='http://www.microsoft.com' "/>
2) Next create your styles like this:
.general {
width: 90px;
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
3) The final product will look like this:
Hope this gets you started.

Back (or show previous page) button and Ebay....

Hello all. I am having a problem with ebay and the back button on Safari. It started with version 3, and it continues to version 4. When I am looking at an item, if I click the back button, the page just reloads. I have to double click the back button to go to the previous page. I have just noticed this on the ebay site and no others. Any ideas? Thanks for the input.

having the same problem at www.dealnews.com
not a problem with previous 3.32 version, but now i can't get back to the previous page without pressing the back button twice quickly.
if you press it once, it just reloads the same page.
i've reset safari, but nothing fixes it.
anyone else have an idea?
thanks!

Previous page button working as next page button

Even when I create or take a button from InDesign library with previous page function it works as next page. How to fix this?

1. Is this happening with a particular project or with all the projects?
2. Is this happening only when you click a link to a bookmark or with all the links?
3. What is the OS you are working on?

IWEB previous does not return to previous page

I am trying to get back to the last page with the Previous option in the Link setup. I do not know why it does not return to the previous page but some other pages.

The following script is courtesy of Cyclosaurus. Use it in an HTML snippet:
<button type='button' target='_parent' onclick='javascript:history.back();' > Previous Page </button>
OT

Is there a script to create a next page button

I have a PDF that I need to create next and previous page buttons on. There is no option in the actions menu. Is there a java script I can run to make this happen. I am using Acrobat 9 Pro and I do not know javascript at all.
Thanks Tom

Hi tommy_boy56
You didn't go far enough.
Acrobat 9 has that function built in.
Click on OK to create a button.
Name it NextPage.
Then go under properties/options.
Then under labels type Next Page.
Then under actions select mouse down.
Execute Menu Item.
Then choose add.
Then select View>Go To>Next Page
Then select OK.
Do the same for Previous Page or whatever else you want.
Once you have the "Next Page" and "Previous Page" in place just copy both and paste on each page.

The Back button only allows me to go back one page at a time instead of selecting a previous page from a drop-down list. This is a real problem: anyone have any ideas?

In the previous version of Firefox, I could go back to a previous webpage by clicking on a part of the Back button which brought up a list of recently visited sites, and by clicking one of these, could jump straight back to that page. This facility does not seem to be available in the latest Firefox, and the Back button only goes back one page at a time. This is really inconvenient, as,
it now takes longer to get to an earlier page
there is no visibility of previous pages visited
any actions carried out on webpages are undone when going back through them - this does not happen when jumping back several pages in one go.
This is a real problem as I used to the old system constantly, and cannot continue to use Firefox 4.0 unless there is a way around it.

For me, I have the same question, this is a poorly done upgrade and I want to go back to 3.6

Back button does not go to the previous page

Hi all, first post.
As an imac user I also have a laptop running Win7 O/S and of course Safari 5.1 (7534.50).
I go to the tabbed browsing bar, click on a bookmark and open all in tabs.
The problem occurs when I use the back button to go to the previous page. Instead I get a previous set of tabs? Or sinle blank tab?
Can anybody help me please!
Mike

Right - found a workaround for the PC (mac is not affected).
Instead of hitting the back button, hold it.
This will bring a list of all possible back pages, select the one you want.
Once you have done this, the back button behaves a bit better.
EDIT: Timesink has noted that the backspace button works.
Always beter to use keys and shortcuts

Previous page navigation after on click of cancel button of a form in adf

Hi,
Can any one tell how previous page navigation works in adf?
I am working on a portal page which is having a common footer for all jspx pages.This footer contains a golink for feedback form.
so the problem is when I Navigate to any page (# page 1)and then Navigate to some other page (#page 2) and on click of Feedback link displayed on footer of page 2 Feedback form is displayed. and on Click of Cancel button of the form.
Expected Result:
User should be navigated to the page that they were on. (i.e., Page 2)
Actual Result:
User is navigated to page 1 instead of page 2
i.e it is taking browser previous url.
I am using the following code for the cancel button
<af:commandLink text="Cancel" id="cl5">
<af:clientListener method="goBack" type="click"/>
</af:commandLink>
java script....
function goBack()
window.history.back()

Safari reloading previous page after pressing the back button

Hey guys, here my question regarding Safari...
Why is it that every time I do the two finger swipe on the trackpad to go back to the previous page I was viewing on the web, freaking Safari takes me back to that page instantly but then automatically reloads the page. WHY?!?!
I don't have this issue while using Firefox. I swipe to go back to the previous page and it's instantly available for me to continue browzing / scrolling, etc.
Another thing I noticed in Safari is that if I'm half way down a page and click on something, which takes me to that page but then I swipe to go back, it doesn't take me back to where I was on the page (say, half way down, for example) it take me up towards the top (not all the way at the top, mind you, just up higher, NOT WHERE I WAS WHEN I LEFT THE PAGE) Why does it do this?!?! You'd think that Apple would have designed Safari to be the next best thing since sliced bread and that it would work instantly and flawlessly. I'd imagine that Firefox and other browzers would be the ones taking forever to load but it's freakin Safari that is doing this, I don't get it.
For the record, Firefox functions flawlessly. Instantly shows the page I was at when I press the back button or swipe back and it puts me BACK IN THE SAME SPOT THAT I WAS AT BEFORE I LEFT THE PAGE!!!!
I use both browzers as I need two (use both for different things and have different bookmarks saved, etc) but I'm starting to HATE Safari simply for this one issue I'm having. It makes surfing the web take 2x as long as I not only have to wait for the page to RELOAD after pressing the back button, I also have to scroll back down to where I was before I left the page, which takes TIME!
Someone please explain this to me. I looked at other posts regarding this issue but there is no clear solution to the problem.
HELP.

I think Apple should give the end user the choice whether to autoload the webpage when you press the back button or not. It would be a simple fix for this issue that it seems a lot of people are suffering with.
I WANT to use the default web browser that my Macbook Pro came with (Safari) and don't really want to use the alternatives (Firefox, Chrome, etc) but surfing the web is a slow, time consuming process with this auto reload "feature".
Apple, Please fix this ASAP!
This is my first Apple laptop (was a long time Sony Vaio / Windows user) and I expected good things from my Mac, after hearing / reading all the reviews but this Safari issue is a MAJOR turn off for me. It needs to be address ASAP.

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

Why can't I get to the previous page by hitting the back button just once?

Hi there.My problem is that when I try to go back to the previous page(s) and hit the back button nothing happens.I have to hit it twice or triple to force action.This is happening after the latest update of mozilla.I know that in previous mozilla versions you had to double-click to go back to previous pages, but in the latest versions you could go back by just one click(double-clicking remained as a choice for the romantic...).Is it a matter of set up?Please answer cause it's really annoying...

Also, Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
*'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
*'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.

Problem in how to stop displaying previous page after Logout

<%
// I invalidate all my session when i logout and comes on Login.jsp page but if i go back still it open
previous pages
How i can stop these
i am adding these line in avery jsp page
1)
response.setHeader("pragma","no-cache");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-store");
response.addDateHeader("Expires", 0);
response.setDateHeader("max-age", 0);
response.setIntHeader ("Expires", -1); //prevents caching at the proxy server
response.addHeader("cache-Control", "private"); //IE5.x only;
%>
2) and in Logout.jsp
response.sendRedirect("Login.jsp");
session.invalidate();
session.removeAttribute("viv");
still on reaching login page i can move to previous page by clicking back button

Hi sreenathreddy.
I am doing exactly what you are talking about.
On load of each jsp page, I check to see if I am still in session. If i am not, i redirect the user to the login page saying his session has expired.. This works perfectly fine in the sense that after I log out, if I directly type in the url or click on any other link from history, it redirects you to the login page.
But my problem sitll remained that after logging out, if i clicked the back button, it would still take me to the previous page even though none of the links on that page would work.
So i added all the response.SetHeaders that are mentioned in this discussion.
Now the scenario is such that, when i press the back button after logging out, it tells me that the page has expired and i have to resubmit the form.
There are two problems with this
1. at this point , if i refresh my page, it still gets the details from the server and even though i am invalidating the session and all the user details, and checking to see if the session is invalidated,it still somehow manages to get all the details(i dont know where that info is stored)
2. even if the person has not logged out. ie in the middle of a perfectly valid session and clicks on the back button, he is warned that the session has expired.
please do reply
thanks

It's so annoying!! I have created a new Apple ID but after I click verify it just goes back to the previous page!!! It''s really frustrating I have tried for more than 4H, and the problem is not about the apple ID. I can download apps with the apple ID, which means IMessage is the problem! I restarted my iPad, I logged in and out of the apple ID in the store, AND YET IT STILL WON'T WORK, PLEASE HELP!

Hi Vmanfromusa!
It sounds like you are having an issue with activating your iMessage app on your iPad. An article outlining some troubleshooting steps for this issue can be found here:

After updating IE7, Firefox 3.6 no longer store history--back button in Firefox can't access previous pages.

Yesterday a security update for IE7 was automatically downloaded into my computer. Now the history feature of Firefox is working poorly. Often it doesn't save previous pages for the back button to access during an online session. The few times I've been able to navigate back to a Google search page, the search terms I've used previously are absent. However most often today, the browser doesn't even acknowledge that there were previous pages and the back button remains grayed out.

I got an email saying that Cor-el had posted a reply to my question. I don't see it on this page. Was it deleted?
