Using the back button causes infinite loop between articles
Hi i have a folio that has a series of projects, and i wanted to use the back option as various access points to each project
goto://FolioNavigation/lastview
but each project has an image article associated with it, and this has a button on it back specifically to the project main article. But when u click the back button now on that main artcile, it takes u to the image article, not back to where the person wud have wanted to be.
I cannot think of a work around other than going back to using specific page navto but that means determining the access point which is not possible. Or duplicated the articles entirely.
Any help appreciated.
Rob
found solution. you have to use the goto://FolioNavigation/lastview
in the back option on the image page as wel. then it knows not to cause infinite loop

I have a web application that contains a physicians search page:
http://www.hshsmedicalgroup.com/SearchPhysician.aspx
I do the following:
Select "find a physician"
Type "Smith"
Press "search"
Select Smith entry
Press "back" on browser
"search" button is now disabled
Only happens when you get back using the Back button.
This doesn't happen in I.E. or Chrome.
I see the issue in Firefox 3.6.13, 4.0 and 4.01.
OS: Windows XP, Windows 7 and Mac.I would suspect a slightly incompatible addon of causing that to happen.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?<br/> ''A troubleshooting mode.''<br />
You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

Mozilla won't let me use the back button. How do I enable it?
I recently downloaded Mozilla. I like it but the only thing that I cannot do is use the back button. It won't let me use it. The color that highlights the back button is dimmed. Does anyone know how to resolve this?
Do you get a drop-down list if you keep the left mouse button pressed on the Back button?
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.

You can check the browser.sessionhistory.* pref(s) on the <b>about:config</b> page and reset user set (bold) prefs to the default value via the right-click context menu.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

Sometimes when using the Google search engine, after using the Back button in the Firefox 4.0.1 browser, I am no longer able to click in the Google search box.
This problems has been occurring on two different machines over the last two days.I think this may not be a browser problem but rather a Google problem.
I am getting the same problem with the Google Chrome browser. -

Private Window allows previously visited pages to be seen using the Back button.
Private windows seem to be less private than non-Private windows:-
1) In a Private Window the Back button allows previously visited pages to be determined.
2) In a non-Private window Clear History removes previously visited pages (so that they aren't accessible using the Back button).
3) Clear History (Ctrl-Shift-Delete) isn't available in Private windows.This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Safari why can I not use the back button
Hi;
Ever since I upgraded tp Mountain Lion I cannot use the back button to return to an previous website.
It seems I can only use the back button if I am going back within the current web site.
In other words:
I am in website A and go to a website B (home Page) and in website B I open another page, when I hit the back button it will go back to the home page of website B BUT then the back button is gray and no longer allows to to go back to the website A.
Yes, there are tabs that have web pages but they are shortened.
Thanks
GregThanks, Not sure why when I got mountain lion it dropped it.
Thanks again

Safari keeps crashing when I use the back button
I'm using safari version 5.1.5
It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often and is annoying usually when I'm at a website and I hit the back button at upper left hand corner.
I then have to Force Quit Safari.
Thanks for any help.Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Why do google search results reset to match the search bar terms when i use the back button?
Since the update to FF 23, the list of Google search results clears and the on-page search box is reset to match the address bar search box when I hit the back button to re-view the results list after checking a result.
To see this issue for yourself, set your search provider to Google and make sure Instant is on. Type a search term into the search bar and press enter. A google page appears with your results list. Now, change your search terms or conduct a new search directly from the google page (without using the FF search bar). Click on the first result in the search list, then click the back button to return to the search results so you can check a differest result. As FF goes back to the google page, it will reset the on-page search box to match the FF search bar (although you were no longer on this search) and all search results will disappear, replaced by the message "Press enter to search". Pressing enter reconducts your old search, not the one you were on.
This is incredibly maddening since searching for something requires frequent use of the back button to check through the list of search results, and then frequently trying the search again with slightly different terms. Although it sounds like a Google issue, it did not occur on the old firefox and has me wanting to revert. I tried to revert to the old search function via the "keyword search" addon, but this did not fix my issue. Is there a way to force FF to go back to the actual google search page I was just on instead of conducting a new google search from the FF search box when I hit the back button?In Firefox 23 versions and later the keyword.URL pref is no longer supported and it is no longer possible to specify the search engine for the location bar via the keyword.URL pref.<br />
The search engine that is used on the location bar and on the about:home page is the search engine that is selected in the search Bar on the Navigation Toolbar.<br />
Current Firefox versions do not update the about:home home page until you refresh the page (future versions will do this automatically without a refresh) and that is what happens if you use the Back key.
You can install the Keyword Search extension to specify with search engine to use for the location bar and which search engine to use for the about:home page via the Options/Preferences windows of this extension, accessible via the about:addons page.

Branching and Using the 'Back' button
I have created a branching program that is essentially a
"choose-your-own-adventure." There is no quiz, b/c there is no
right or wrong.
However, when you begin you have three choices. The user
selects one of those choices and goes to Slide A, Slide B or Slide
C depending on their choice. There, they have more choices to make.
From Slide A, their choices would take them to Slide D, Slide E or
Slide F. If they originally chose Slide B, the next set of choices
would also be Slide D, as well as Slide G or Slide H.
(And so on and so forth)
It has been recommended to me that I create a way for users
to simply hit the playbar's "back" button if a user is on Slide D,
and wants to go back to Slide A. However, under my current set-up,
I have two problems: The first: if they simply hit the back button
on the slidebar from Slide D, they will go to Slide C--a
acompletely wrong choice. Secondly, if I put a "Jump to" button on
the page, I actually have to put 2 on (one that will bring them to
Slide A and another that will bring them to Slide B) since you can
get to Slide D from both A and B.
This is a simplified version of my branching, and creating a
button for each page that a slide could go back to isn't feasible
and would probably be more confusing to the user than anything.
Please tell me if this doesn't make sense, or if there is a
way that I can do this.
To see the project and see what I'm talking about, you can go
Here,
and then choose the "Is My TV Ready?" option.
Thank you,
RobHi Rob
Had a look at your program and think it is a great use of
Captivate.
Regarding the "back" functionality, I would recommend to
custom build a button on each slide where you wish to go back. The
reason is that the back button on the play bar will always go back
1 slide in the actual slide sequence and does not take branching
into account i.e. it is a pure linear back 1 button. To make life
easier, I would suggest giving each of your important slides a
unique label, which would then make it a lot easier to:
Specify where the individual "back" buttons would jump to
View the actual branching in teh Branching view of Captivate.
Good luck mate

The last 12 hours or so when I've visited certain (reputable!) websites, as soon as a page has loaded I've been redirected to some random other site (usually some Mens Health or Weight Loss Secret crap). When I hit the back button the exact same thing happens. I've checked my Firefox add-ons and I've got nothing dodgy, I'm on a Macbook so I don't think it's a virus. I'm pretty computer illiterate so simple answers would be lovely, thanks
There are viruses for the Mac, of course, but a bad add-on seems more likely...
Could you test those pages in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
If Firefox works better but none of the extensions look suspicious to you, do you want to post a list of them for review? A relatively easy way to extract them is as follows:
Open the support information page using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the upper left corner, click the Copy text to clipboard button. Then start a new reply to this thread and paste in the result. The Extensions are the second block of information. If you scroll down to "Important Modified Preferences", you can delete from there to the end.
Also, could you check that no unusual connection settings have been entered into Firefox?
"3-bar" menu button (or Firefox menu) > Preferences > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
Normally "Use system proxy settings" is selected, but you also could try "No proxy" to see whether that works any better. -
Using the Back Button in the Browser
Does Anyone know how to do this, I have tabs on my homepage,
and I want to be able to have it so that if the user goes to a
different page from the tabs and then hits the back button they
will still have the tab that they were just looking at to show.
Right now, dreamweaver makes me have a default tab. Here is my
homepage just to give you an example of the tabs I am talking

Your browser's back/forward buttons are 'page' based.
Tabs ON a page are often javascript based, and are not seen
as individual
pages by the browser.
Your option would be to turn the javascript based tabs into
page based tabs
forcing a new page request when switching between tabs. That
may or may not
be desirable for your needs.
