Safari 5.1 reloads page when using back button or gesture

Safari has the strange behavior of reloading pages "navigated to" using the back button or gesture.  Most other browsers I've worked with pull from cache when using the back button.  I don't think this behavior is compliant with standards - defacto as they may be. 
An example of why this is wrong is the navigation of this forum.  I just loaded Lion and need to use the forum for support.  When navigating back from a particular post to the list of posts the page will reload.  Needless to say several hundred posts have been entered since last looking at the list and I subsequently lose the context of what I read last.  The list of posts from cache which I orginally looked at should be returned - not the latest updated one.  Let me choose when to refresh a page from the cache.
I downloaded Google Chrome to compare behaviors.  Chrome does not reload pages navigated to using the back button - it pulls the pages from cache.
I've looked at the configuration of Safari and see no options to configure this behavior. 

Switch from one finger swipe to two finger swipe
ok, since i do not have a trackpad, i used my magic mouse. I changed my swipe between pages from one finger to two and my pages no longer re-loaded. Changing that option back to one finger swipe then set my pages to re-load   our setting are slightly differnt, but were looking for the same outcome.   Lood for a "Swipe between pages option. Then look for a drop down triangle. now change your swipe left or right with two fingers to one.   this should re-load your pages now ;-)

  • Reloading a Page when Browser back button is pressed

    Hi There
    We are designing a web site in which all the pages are dynamic depending on what he does with his email and addressbook system. Problem is when the uers request a change to the his email accounts or addressbook entries he is sent to editable pages .After editing he is sent back to view page .Now when he uses the back button he sees the old record that he modifed which i dont want to do that Instead i want him to show the updated version of that page
    Now how to achieve this.
    Is there any way to send a request to the server everytime the back button is pressed.
    Also i am trying to remoce the cache using the code below but it does not work i just dont know why?
    response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); // HTTP 1.1
    response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
    response.setHeader("Expires" , "0");
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I also have noticed that in the latest version of Explorer it ignore the no-Cache header when the back button is pressed. Is this an undocumented "feature" put in place by MS or is there a newer header tag that needs to be set. The no-cache and expires tags work fine in Netscape and ealier versions of MS with my existing code. The version I am having difficulties with is 6.00
    Thanks

  • There is no longer a "close tab" under the file menu, so how do I go back to a previous page when the back button will not work?

    Often the back button will not work. I can find no "close tab" under the menus, which I think used to be there, and which is used with Internet Explorer to go to the previous page. How can I go back to the previous page with Firefox when the back button will not work?

    No you can't. Apple don't support downgrading of iOS.

  • Stop Firefox reloading webpages when hitting back button

    Is there any way to make hitting the back button not reload pages? It's become a bit of annoyance to me within the past few days because it sorta messed with my flow.
    For example, let's say I'm looking at a phpBB forum. There's a unread posts button next to each topic. I click on the one next to a topic, this topic has 3 pages. The last post I read was halfway down the first page, it takes me to it (and adds "&view=unread#unread" to the URL). I finish reading the page, and move on to page 2. Partway down page two, I decide to go back to page 1 to re-read something that got quoted, and click the back button. But because of what seems like a recent change, Firefox attempts to reload the page instead of its old functionality... and thanks to the unread bit at the end of the URL, phpBB serves up page *3*. Now instead of going back, I've gone forward.

    This is irritating. This should not be necessary. In every previous version, clicking the back arrow re-displays the page from cache; clicking the reload button reloads the page.
    The back button has essentially become a reload button. It's just wrong. and it fouls up my work-flow. Also,
    browser.cache.check_doc_frequency user set integer 2
    did nothing to alleviate the issue.

  • Why does Firefox always ask me to approve a resend when using back button?

    Almost every time I press the back button Firefox presents a pop up to ask if I want to resend. How can I stop this from happening? I just want it to go back to the previous page. It is an irritating waste of time to have to click the resend button all the time.

    It is ok that we get an alert before resending post data. But we don't want resend anything when we click on back button. We just want to see the page as was shown last time. When we want to resend data we may hit refresh on the page.

  • FF always goes back to top of page after using back button. can i disable this?

    is there a way to disable FFox going to the top of the site after i use the back button?
    If i am on a site and i click on a link then i use the back button, it always goes to the top of the screen or site, then i have to scroll all the way down again every time.

    I also have had the same problem for months now. The updates do not fix the problem. Is there anyone out there with an answer?
    Sometimes out of the blue I will click somewhere on the itunes store screen and it will stop doing it but, I can't repeat it the next time I open Itunes. It always just wants to stay scrolled all the way to the top on every itunes store page.

  • Text Click box not working when using back button on playbar

    I have an interstesting situation.
    I have a slide that has 2 text clickboxes (Slide B)
    Each text click box has an advanced action associated that controls what is displayed on the next slide (Slide C) . The click boxes and the advanced actions work just fine except for the following situation:
    The learner is on Slide C and uses the 'back button' on the playbar to return to the slide where the two text click boxes are (Slide B), then the click boxes don't seem to work.
    However if the learner goes back one additional slide, the slide before slide B (let's call that one slide A) and the continues from Slide A to Slide B, then the click boxes on Slide B work again.
    Can't figure out why that is?
    has anyone come across this issue before?

    Not for native Captivate interactive objects that suffer with this limitation.  There are interactive widgets such as the Infosemantics Event Handler that have preference options to Reset Success/Fail Criteria After Action.
    You could download a trial version and give that a go:

    You can attach this widget to any kind of screen object to make that object interactive.

  • When using back button keeps saying document expired during web search

    I found someone else who had this problem on here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=888757
    The solution is to "Reset Firefox" but the issue I'm having with this is that after about a week or two, it returns to the previous state. My client is upset that we don't have a permanent fix for this.

    Hello Personalglitch
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Stop safari from refreshing every page i go back to

    Is there a way to prevent safari from refreshing every page i go back to in my browsing history?  what is the point of having a cache if safari is going to refresh every page anyway?
    i dont mean dated stuff like 2 weeks ago, i mean every page.
    i swipe and have to wait while safari refreshes, then swipe back again, wait for the refresh and repeat this.  if i quickly swipe back 4 pages, the 4th page back will appear for a second, then the 1st page re-appears cos it is fully refreshed.
    i thought it was just on Facebook that this happened on, but it is on most pages including google searches and this forum.
    very annoying behaviour.

    I am part of a web marketing company and we discovered a very heavy aggravation on top of all the above described annoyances of the refreshing process of safari on iPhone and iPad.
    If the page in refreshing process it was after a direct click on a google "pay per click add", then safari it would re-emulate the click on the google add as well, who will charge the customer for what it looks like a legitimate click !!!!!
    Now my customer put me in charge to collect all the company server's logs and analyse them through one by one ... (millions…),
    once sufficient data will be available we will start a suing process against apple and google.
    Apple, to allow such automatic unconditioned refreshing generating false "pay per click", and Google for charging the customer for illegal clicks. Keep in mind that we receive from 500 to 600 clicks per day at a CPC min £1.90 to max £6.80 depends from competitors biddings, the highest percentage of clicks its about CPC £3.10, making the company spending easily £3,000 per day.
    in the last 7 days we already discovered that about 10% of the clicks are repetitive from iPhone and iPad refreshing their safari cache, making spend the company about £ 2,000 per week in false clicks. we are also trying to discover when was this process generally started,  ie if its been going on for a year, we are talking of some good (£2000 * 52) £100,000 plus our work to investigate.
    I am a big fan of iPhone, and I hope some apple technician will read this message and take action ASAP, because in the next 3-4 weeks, once our investigation its done, all the info and server logs will be publicised on the web … with unfortunate financial consequences …

  • How to display a fixed number of rows in a page when using CL_GUI_ALV_GRID

    Hy experts
    How to display a fixed number of rows in a page when using CL_GUI_ALV_GRID?? lets say 500 ?? because my display table it may contain in some cases 10.000 and evidently I can t see all of them..
    I have a button in my toolbar witch triggers this event
    (display 500 records ) but I don t have the logic to do this only with methods of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID.
    can you tell me a standard method of CL_GUI_ALV_GRID witch can help me do this?? any hint will be good..
    Till now I was used to add a column to my structure witch represents a flag that is a number corresponding to every 500 records (a batch containing 500 records )
    first       500 - flag -> 1
    second  500 - flag -> 2
    etc..but I m convinced that exists a way of doing this more easy..without damaging my structure..
    thanx in advance..don t be shy..reply if you have any hints..

    Hi,
    if method SET_FILTER_CRITERIA doesn´t help, I think that you must work with 2 internal tables, a counter and a loop for filtering the records to be displayed:
    case counter.
      when 1.
         loop at int_table1 from 1 to 500.      "<-- your table with all records
           move int_table1 to int_table2
        endloop.
      when 2.
         loop at int_table1 from 501 to 1000.     
           move int_table1 to int_table2
        endloop.
    etc, etc.
    Call grid-->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY
       exporting
         IT_OUTTAB = int_table2                "<-- instead of your currently table int_table1

    u/tube videos open fine when using Safari but will not open when using Firefox. With Firefox I get the unhighlighted Quicktime symbol with a question mark in the center. WHY?? Any help appreciated --- Toroya

    Hmmmm, strange you view YouTube in Safari & not FF. Which version of FF are you using?
    Try the following:
    Repair permissions & restart.
    Make sure you have the latest versions of Adobe Flash Player Software
    QuickTime Preferences > Advanced > MIME Stettings > Miscellaneous.
    Deactivate the "Flash Media" option.

    When using Back to my Mac to access an iMac from a MacBookPro all with the latest OS updates may I use a local printer connected to the MacBook to print a document located on the iMac?  If so, how?  It looks like if I try to print it will all happen on the iMac.  Thanks.

    I appreciate that, but it will still list the printer in your local location if things are set up properly and if it is you can print, if it isn't you can't, but you should be able to print it as a pdf, transfer the file to your local computer and print it from their.
