Safari back button and page jump

Hi. I'm using Safari 6.0.3 on MacBook Air.
When I click the back button the previous page is reloaded fine. However, Safari does not jump down to the place on the page I was last. This is tiresome when dealing with long lists (e.g., ebay results pages). All other browsers I use do this. Any help? Thanks!

Same thing with my 64GB WIFI/3G iPad after ios 4.2.1 update. However, with me, it is seemingly on a random basis 20-30% of the time.
Google search---> search results----> view one of the search results----> back button----> EMPTY PAGE.
However, hitting the reload icon in URL bar on the empty page brings back search results, so livable.

Safari back button showing blank page

Since upgrade to 4.2 I have noticed a problem using google in safari.
From www.google.com, search for something and following any result link. Hit the Back button to return back to the google result page and it's always a blank page, annoying. Anyone else getting same problem?

Using the Safari Back button to navigate?

Why is it when I'm navigating the Support communities and I use the Safari back button it always goes to the top of the list and not to the list that I have already expanded. It gets pretty annoying to have to keep expanding the topic list to get back to were a left off.

Every "List" you see is sorted by activity - latest first. If you navigate away, then back, you are reloading the page with a new set of activity.
If you wish to use a list as a "Home Base" after using "Load More", COMMAND > Click the link (Title?) to open the thread in a new TAB. when finished, close the TAB and you will see your Home Base as you left it - likely with the thread you chose Underlined

Safari Back Button - Broken Again!!!

In a previous post, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9724856 I was able to restore the back button functionality by doing a complete reset on my 1G iPod after the Safari Back Button became permanently disabled. This happened shortly after upgrading to OS 3.0.
It has now happened again, and this time I know the step that caused it. I was on Wikipedia and clicked a hyperlink to another wiki page. The link generated a 502 Bad Gateway error. At this point, the Safari Back Button became permanently disabled.
I guess I have another full reset to do again.

After doing another full reset, the Back Button on Safari was activated again. BUT!!! Now after using it for a day, it's gone again!!! Arrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
Is there any way of going back to OS 2.x? This never happened over the last 1.5 years of using OS 1.x or 2.x on my 1G iPod Touch.

* If the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the Menu bar appear (Firefox 3.6 on Windows) (see [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: View > Toolbars .
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
* If you do not see that item then click the Restore Default Set button in the View > Toolbars > Customize window.

Browser Back Button and form navigation

Some times when you use browser back button and adf-taskflow navigation buttons, validation on form fails, witout having made any change even with enabled token validation.
Reproduction steps on HR schema:
1. Create QueryDepartment and EditDepartment Views and navigation rules in adfc-config.xml
2 Create ADF view only table page for QueryDepartment selectable, and add navigation button to go to EditDepartment
3. Create EditDepartment form with navigation buttons and button to navigate back to QueryDepartment
test:
1.Run QueryDepartment and select a department
2.Go to Edit Department using navigation button
3.Navigate to next department pressing the 'Next' button
4.Navigate back using the Browser Back button.
5.Try to navigate back to QueryDepartment using the navigation button.
My result is validation error on DepartmentId field 'Error: JBO-25013: '
Is this a bug or am i doing something wrong?

Hi,
maybe I don't get it, but as I understood you have problem with focus on select button. So why don’t you set focus onLoad on another element of your page?
Something like onload=”$x(‘ELEMENT_NAME’).focus()”;

Reviewing all links and page jumps

Our editor is reviewing a multiple page PDF and needs to quickly look over all our hyperlinks and page jumps since there are many on one page. Is there an easy way to see all the links and page jumps to easily review them? Also note some hyperlinks are autogenerated by InDesign so they don't show up as links when you use the link tool.

If you are creating several text links in a text box and you turn the text into links one by one as you go they seem to all hook onto the first link.
Type out all your text first and then go back and create the links.

Back button and bookmarks

will you implement the back button and bookmarks functions in
spry?

Hi Petrus,
It is on our list of enhancement requests.
--== Kin ==--

I hate the update of the bar. It has totally done away with being able to skip back several places in the browser; now I can only click the back button and go back one page at a time. I otherwise hate the new layout, too. How do I undo this?

I can't choose a specific page to skip back to but must click the back button over and over to get back to where I want to skip to. The little headings "most visited," "getting started," "Youtube," etc. have changed. They look more colorful, but I hate how the home button is clear over to the right side of the page, etc. What was wrong with the way everything was before? I HATE this new update, and I didn't even want it.

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.
If you want the drop-down arrow you can add it with the Back/forward dropmarker add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforward-dropmarker

DW5 back button (and go back function) OK in Firefox, go back too far in IE8.

Both the browser window back arrow button and the DW5 javascript "go back" function go back the correct ONE STEP in Firefox, but in Internet Explorer 8 either button jumps too far back, to a main page instead of to the departure point within some opened tab or opened accordion element on that page. Not stepping bcak through "history". Any ideas what is wrong in IE8?

Hi Greg,
before I go back to your "back"-function, I would like to draw your attention to DW's "jump function" (translated from my German DW). It appears to me a greater reliability in use than the other solutions. You can accurately send the people to the desired page.
and there e.g.:
And and among the simultaneous use of "your" your back-function, you certainly come to the goal.
I know these back-solutions and sometimes it is not all to bad toyou have these opportunities:
<a href="javascript:history.back()">one page back</a> or <a href="javascript:history.back();">
and links forward to do this way:
<a href="javascript:history.forward()">one page forward</a>
I'll look for your informations later.

Safari back button

Don't seem to have a back button on web pages. Any ideas?

Click "View" menu in the Safari menu bar and choose "Customize Toolbar.
Drag the "Back/Forward" button from the sheet that drops down to the Toolbar and then click "Done".

Safari "back" button gone

Anybody else have this happen? In the upper left corner of my Safari (2.0.4) page, where there used to be a "back" button (black triangle), I now have a "refresh" button (half-circle).
I can still go back a page by using CMD-[ but I want my button back!
Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi,
There are 2 ways to restore it.
- Quit Safari, trash the Safari preferences file at /Users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist and then restart Safari
or
- Right-click (or control+click if using a single button mouse) on the toobar area and choose 'Customize Toolbar...' - from the dropdown that appears you can re-add the missing buttons.
Hope that helps.

Safari back button assignment for mouse

how do i assign the safari web page back button to a button on my mouse
can anyone please help me with it, it be much apprciated

Did your mouse come with its own software drivers, or does Mac OS X support mouse button assignment for your mouse? If so, you should be able to get it done in System Preferences. If not, you might need something like USB Overdrive. Alternatively, CocoaSuite and xGestures offer a novel solution in the form of mouse gestures.
