This forum and the back button

I don't know if I'm the only one with this problem. Say I read a thread on Page 3 of the forum. If I then hit the back button on my browser it takes me back to Page 1. How would I be able to get directly back to the list of topics on Page 3 instead? I'm using Windows XP.

I need to de-authorize a previous install in order to reinstall CS5. i asked in this forum and the answer told me to come back to this forum and ask how? I am no further than I was before.

I need to de-authorize a previous install in order to reinstall CS5. i asked in this forum and the answer told me to come back to this forum and ask how? I am no further than I was before.
I was told to go to a website to download CS5 software but I already own the CS5 software. Then I was told to go to webchat to get "them" to deathorize the old install. But I was in webchat (as I am now) when I first asked this question. The answer seems circular and gets me no farther toward reinstalling my CS5.

This is not web chat. This is the forum, which is an extension of the Adobe Support system, but you need to talk to Adobe Support directly either by chat or by telephone and they can process the deactivation.
There has been a problem lately with the links for getting into the web chat and for the phone support. Try the following link and look down the page for a chat option. If you don't see one, try using a different browser.
Contact Customer Care
If you still cannot see it then you might try the phone route, which would be unfindable as well if the chat is not appearing. But the info for that is...

I open a new webpage in a new tab. I then go to a link and the back button does not allow me to go back to the original webpage. Any suggestions?

I don't think you understood the question. I am having the exact same issue. I open a link in a new tab or window, for example: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/
When the new tab opens, I click on "reviews" to open the link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/backforedrop/#reviews in the existing tab because I want to see the reviews for this feature. After I read the reviews, I want to go back to the main link, but the back button on my browser is greyed out, as though I was never even on the previous page. So my options are 1) Open every link I ever click on in a new tab or window, or 2) Hope the website is user friendly and attempt to navigate back to the previous page using links inserted on the current page.
You never realize how frustrating not having back button is until it happens.

IE and the back-button

Hi all...
I've used JHeadstart 10.1.2 to build a fairly simple UIX based web application. This application is completely a read-only view of some data, layed out as master-detail-detail over a few screens.
As such, I followed the directions in the JHeadstart Dev Guide to disable back-button protection, since my application didn't need to be protected against misuse of the browser back button.
Everything works fine in Firefox... users can query the master screen and drilled into details, and use the browser back button to back out of the details to the master page.
However, IE does not like this at all. It intercepts this back-button use with pages that employ POST form submissions by throwing the following rendering when navigating back up from my app's details pages:
================
Warning: Page has Expired The page you requested was created using information you submitted in a form. This page is no longer available. As a security precaution, Internet Explorer does not automatically resubmit your information for you.
To resubmit your information and view this Web page, click the Refresh button.
================
What kind of mods in my UIX/Struts JHeadstart code can I make in order for IE to accept use of the back-button in this scenario?
I realize I can add breadcrumbs to my application, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the users will use this instead of the back button (especially since the users will be public anonymous Internet users -- training is not an issue)?

Timothy,
If you google on "how to prevent Warning: Page has Expired" you will find lots of useful links. You nee dto set your caching policy on the http header. You can do this by overriding JhsActionServlet.process, and register your custom action servlet in web.xml.
You can add calls like this to set caching strategies:
response.addHeader("Cache-Control", "max-age=3600");
response.addHeader("Cache-Control", "private");
Google on "response.setHeader" or reponse.addHeader for more examples.

I updated Firefox on my Mac (10.6.8), and now history is not remembered (that option is checked) and the back button won't work. Help?

I updated Firefox on my Mac (10.6.8), and now history is not remembered (that option is checked) and the back button won't work. Help?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Insert forms and the back button

Hi,
I have a page that is transparent to the user and does a
standard DW insert
using ASP. It uses <body
onLoad="document.form1.submit()"> to do this.
The user clicks on a link, this page does the insert, and
then they are
redirected to a results page.
The problem is if they click on the back button from the
results page the
insert happens again and they end up on the results page
again.
If they click on the back button I want them to go back to
the first page
with the link (and obviously not do the insert).
How can I do this?

Jo,
How about putting in a <<back link yourself for the
user to click that takes them to the page you want.

PPR and the Back Button

Hi all,
I posted recently about a workaround Oracle showed me for helping manage back button problems more efficiently, but now I'm having a separate back button problem.
Changes that were made to a page via PPR disappear after coming back to the page by clicking the browser back button--for example, if I added a row to an <af:table> using PPR, navigate off the page, and click the back button, the row will disappear again--although it will reappear as soon as any event re-refreshes the table. I've tried turning off browser chaching, and it makes no difference, which makes me suspect this is not a browser caching issue.
Does anyone know if there's a way to make sure a component is always refreshed when the page is loaded, even if it was loaded via the browser back button?
Thanks much,
Avrom

Hi Frank,
Great idea, thanks! I haven't tried it out in all my cases, but it looks like it's going to work!
For the use of others, here's what you do:
1) Make sure your model layer is capable of supporting the back button here, of course.
2) Create a method, String refresh(), in a backing bean. This method can be a no-op (just return null) if you don't need to do any work to re-set the page. But if, for example, you calculated values referred to in the page, you should re-calculate them here. If you had code that calculated them when the page was originally loaded (*not* for PPR), you can take that out, because this will always get called on a new load/back button load/reload.
3) Add a CommandLink like this one to your page (needs to be in a form, but otherwise it doesn't really matter where):
<af:commandLink id="refresh" partialSubmit="true"
action="#{yourBean.refresh}"/>4) Add a call to a javascript function like the following in your <afh:body>'s "onload" tag:
function refreshPage() {
    var refreshComp;
    if (document.getElementById)
        refreshComp = document.getElementById("refresh");
    else if (document.all)
        refreshComp = document.all["refresh"];
    else if (document.layers)
        refreshComp = document.layers["refresh"];
    if (refreshComp) {
      refreshComp.click();
}(All of that rigmarole is to support different browsers, which have different ways of retrieving a DOM element by its id.)
5) For each component you need refreshed on a back button, set (or add) "refresh" to its partialTriggers property.
6) Sit back and watch the Back button work.

Firefox Tabs and the Back Button

I open a page (such as a Google search) in the first tab. I select any entry. When I press the BACK button, the browser (correctly) returns to the Google selection list. If I do the same in any other tab (2 thru nn), the Back button does not return me to the list. Does anyone else experience this? Bug? Feature? I've checked my add-ons, to no avail. This happens in both 3.6 and 4.0, and is not solely related to Google. (And this works OK in IE8.)

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
Another possibility is to use:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Firefox (Tools) > Options] > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts": "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
Do you still have the Bookmarks Toolbar visible?
* [[Restore the default Smart Bookmarks Folders]]
Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
Make sure that you have the Bookmarks Toolbar and the Navigation Toolbar visible: "View > Toolbars"
Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Use Secure HTTPS throughout this Forum and the Meteor Website

This is not a "Bright Idea", this is a security flaw with the setup of this forum. When registering to use this forum you are asked for these personal sensitive pieces of information: - Password- Email Address- Mobile Number- CUSTOMER SERVICE PIN!- Age Confirmation This forum does not use secure HTTPS TLS anywhere, so when you register with this form, and when you login you are sending this information is clear plain text over the Web. This is extremely insecure especially considering (A) It's a known fact most typical users will use the same account password on multiple sites, so one should assume a user registering for this forum will use the same password that they use for the main MyMeteor account. (B) The Customer Service PIN is one of the pieces of information used when interacting with Meteor either by phone, chat, email, forum or post as a way to verify a persons credentials and valid identity. So given (A) & (B) if a users password and/or PIN are intercepted on an insecure internet connection, the person gaining access to these credentials could use it to impersonate the customer when communicating with Meteor. The implications are obvious. When an attacker wants to gain access to customer details they will look for the weekest access link. This forum is one of the weekest access links and if comporimised or if user details are intercepted it gives the attacker all the information they need. This forum may be powered by the Lithium service, but it is Meteor's Technical team's responsibilty to setup and secure this forum adequetly. At the moment they have not done this. They are leaving customers at risk of identity theft and are failing in their obligations under Data Protection laws. This needs to be addressed immediatly. On a wider issue it is now considered good practice for public serving websites to use TLS throughout their website and not just for registration and login pages. Contrary to misconception using TLS throughout your site will not greatly reduce the speed or performance of the site if the sys admins have used correct modern server configurations, optimisations and TLS implementation. The major browsers are now blocking out non-secure elements on secure web pages and even Google is going to start using TLS as a signal for traffic ranking. So websites using TLS throughout their site will potentially get better search rankings on Google than those without. I would ask the Meteor Sys admins to at the very least seurce this forum with TLS and then role out TLS across their entire meteor.ie web properties and follow best practise.

I have found that there is an SSL certificate installed on the server to cover the forums.meteor.ie domain, however it is not being enforced. Whilst not a perfect solution, for those using the EFF HTTPS Everywhere browser extension, I have written a ruleset that will force the browser to load https://forums.meteor.ie. I have submitted this ruleset to the EFF but you can also add the ruleset yourself with this following these directions, using this code: <ruleset name="Meteor.ie Community Forum">
<target host="forums.meteor.ie"/>
<rule from="^http://(www\.)?forums\.meteor\.ie/" to="https://forums.meteor.ie/"/>
</ruleset> Still waiting on an official response from Meteor.

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

When I open a new tab, then go to a new website, the back button doesn't work.

For instance, I open craigslist in a new tab, then I click on "sporting goods". I try to click back to go back to the original craigslist page and the back button is not lit up and does not work. However if after I am on the sporting goods page (the second page I've looked at in that tab) I click on a set of golf clubs, the back button works to go to the sporting goods page.
Please help, I have to use explorer in the mean time :(

I had this problem, but in addition, the refresh button didn't work on the new tab. If you're running McAfee SiteAdvisor, disable it in the addons menu, allow firefox to restart, and see if that solves the problem. It did for me.
This problem has been reported on McAfee's forum and they say they're working on a fix.

Deactivate the back button when i logout

I am creating webpage with login / logout. How to deactivate the back button when i logout. and clear cookies

There is a hard fix for this...but i don't whether this is a current approach..
Put the javascript in the head of the page
history.go(1);
This virtually disables the back button..i.e when you click the back button it immediately redirects to the present page..

When I open a second Firefox browser window, the URL address window, instead of showing the URL, says "Go to a Web Site;" also, and more importantly, the "back" button is greyed out. This is a new problem, and the first Firefox window I open works fine.

After I open the first Firefox browser window, any additional window I open does not open my homepage, but opens a blank page with "New Tab" showing on the tab. An orange "Firefox" tab with a drop down arrow shows at the upper left hand corner of the screen. All of the options (File, Edit, etc.) are greyed out, however they will work if you move your cursor over them.
The URL address window says "Go to a Web Site". After I've gone to a website, the back button remains greyed out and I am not able to go back to a previous page. My RoboForm and Netcraft toolbars only show up in an abbreviate form. The add-on bar doesn't show up at all.
Again, this is a recent problem, and only happens after I've opened one browser window (which works fine) and then open additional browser windows (as few as one additional).

I had this same problem. Seems to be caused by the web developer tool bar FF extension (this started happening after a recent update to that extension). After disabling it, my FF is back to normal :)

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
