Title: Can the Back Button be processed
Post by: ccordes on June 24, 2013, 04:16:59 AM

Is there a way to either keep users from clicking BACK or process the button and push 2 Enter keystrokes to make the page refresh properly?

Thanks

Hi Chris,

There's no way to stop users from doing _anything_ <g>.
But I've noticed in "popup only" apps they seem to do it less.

>> push 2 Enter keystrokes to make the page refresh properly

sorry - not clear on this one - you _want_ them to press Enter twice?

Pressing enter twice, reloads the page after they hit the back button is all.

The complaint is that they have to reload the page on clicking BACK
So, I can either not allow the BACK button or attempt to get it to process properly without the user doing anything.

And before you ask, yes, there is a go back button on the form to return safely to the browse. The corollary to "You can't stop users from doing anything" is that "you can't make users do anything either."

Maybe I can just make the form's back button easier to use. BIGGER, brighter, with a spinning logo and flames! <G>
