Browser back button makes wrong event fire

Surre · March 8th, 2006, 08:32 AM

I have a problem with a form that contains two different events, one button and one dropdown. When I have selected a value in the dropdownlist and redirect to a different page and then click the browser(IE) back button, the dropdown event fires again, even though I click the button and the buttons clickevent should fire. Is there a simple solution to this that I'm missing? I found the exact same problem in the beginner forum, but maybe this is a problem for this forum since there has been no solution posted? http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=40083

Hi

like you said there is no way to control the back button, I've found some ways to avoid those buttons The one I've like much, because its simplicity, is to put a jscript on the head part od the html in the aspx page
           <head>

               ..........
        <script type="text/javascript">
        for(var i = 0; i<= history.length; i++) {
            history.forward ()
        }
        </script>
           </head>
With that code, every time the user press the IE back button , the IE "jump" to the last page visited, so the user can not see an "older" version of the page

I how it help
Bye
