I have a web enabled notes database where if you press IE’s back button it initially goes to the previous page but then reloads the page it was on.
Help
Subject: IE back button
Does this happen in IE only, or in any browser?
Use a tool like Firebug or LiveHTTPHeaders (for Firefox) or ieHTTPHeaders (for IE) to see, what requests are actually issued by the browser. Once you see the order of requests and responses, you might have a better chance to find what causes the previous page to disappear again.

The organization I work for uses IE as the standard web browser and does not supoort other browsers
Subject: RE: IE back button
I take it, the version does not matter, as long as it is IE? How does this affect the use of ieHTTPHeaders?

First of all, the image site.jpg is never retrieved from the profile document. Probably not the problem, but still worth noting. Furthermore, it is surprising, that the http header log starts with a response, not with a request. How can the server respond to a request, that hasn’t been submitted?
Any real redirect (point the browser to a different resource then originally requested) would have shown up with http status 301 or 302. There could be a meta refresh tag, there could be some JavaScript, but occasionally stuff like this happens because IE get’s confused about its cache. So, clearing the browser cache would be the first thing I’d try.

How would I use sendkeys ?
Subject: RE: IE back button
Hi Gary,
Try this for the Senkeys method in a Action or an Button:
Set x = createobject(“wscript.shell”)
x.Sendkeys “{BACKSPACE}”
regards
Bernhard
