Browser back button not working in FM7 web page

[obsurvey]

i have a database published online using FM7 IWP.

when i open the file on the web all the buttons and forms are working fine but iam not able to go back to previous page using the browser back button.

when i click the back button nothing happens.

does anyone have a solution to this??

When I click the browser back button, many times I recieve the following message.

"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."

This is a problem! I have not found a reasonable work around yet. I suspect it is a bug with IWP that we must live with. HELP!

Try not to use the browser navigation but create navigation within your database itself with its own buttons. This will work fine.

This can happen for a number of reasons, especially if you are behind a proxy. Clear your cache or increase it.

what operating system are you using on the server? are you using PHP when you get the expiration message?

I use Windows Server 2003.

Scripting buttons to navigate within a solution works fine, except the typical user is conditioned to use the browser back button, not navigate back using a button on the web page.

What we do is have a main page which launches the link to the database in a new window without the navigation buttons. The launch page we created in dreamweaver.

Hi.

Yes, users are conditioned to use the browser's back button (and they shouldn't).

I have a related problem: Even if you open the database in a new browser window with no navigation buttons the user can still use [Alt]+[left arrow] or even [backspace]. Is there any way to disable these keyboard shortcuts in Instant Web Publisher?

Would it be possible with some JavaScript inside an "always present" frame? Any ideas?

From my experiance, Javascript is not handled by IWP. We have insurance agents who use our iwp system and we have instructed them not to use any navigation other than what we offer on our database.. For us this seems to work.
