Browser History Getting Cleared Sporadically

This is driving me nuts for last one week. Appreciate any assistance.

I have ASP.NET web application with many pages. Some of them post back
to itself and then links to another page.
Everything was working great so far. Recently we did some modifications
(included a new page) and after that things have gone ugly.

This is the issue: Lets say the user has browsed through number of
pages, came to one particular page (search), posted the form back to
itself and got a result set displayed on a datagrid. (At this stage, if
I click on the little arrow next to BACK button in IE, I can see all
the previous pages listed here ). DataGrid has a hyperlink to another
page (which opens in the same window) and when the user clicks on that
link, new page(ResultDeta il) comes up but ALL BUT one entry is REMOVED
from the Back button (meaning, If I click on the little arrow on back
button I can see only the JUST PREVIOUS page). All others are gone. If
they click on a link on this (ResultDetail) page a new page
(Furtherdown) will come, but it holds JUST ONE page(ResultDeta il) in
the BACK Button. So, from this page (Furtherdown), the user can only
navigate back to (Resultdetail) and on that page the back button is
eventually disabled.(becau se it does not hold any other page).

FYI : (I watch the history bar (Ctl + H) while browsing the application
and can see that all pages are still showing up in history as usual.
Its getting cleared only from the Dropdown arrow on BACK button. This
issue happend only on IE, it wokrs fine on Firefox)

This is extremely important for us since users rely on back button a
lot.

I tried everything I can think of but nothing helps. Can anyone help in
this please ?

Thanks.

Perhaps this may help:

Or... Are you instantiating a new instance of IE during the process,
that will cause that behavior as well.

I am working on an ASP.NET application that seems to be limiting browser histories to only one entry.

I would like to create an history module to my application.. I need some advice to use a duplicate database with who, when and where fields added to that new duplicate table, or create a table with a character field saying which fields have been affected and others fields with who, when and where. What is the best way to keep an historical table of other table? Any example or article that I can read. Sincerely,

Hi, I am trying to redirect the user to another page (other than the previous one in the browser's history) when the browser's (IE's) BACK button is clicked. I found this snippet, but am finding it difficult in getting it to run :( if (history.previous) { document.location="page_to_go_bak_to.html"; } Could any of you please provide a small example for the code in page2 and where it should be placed (since I am a novice :))?

OK this is annoying... after I installed VS2008 to try it out, apparently an update was made to the behavior VS2005. Now when I close and reopen a document I'm working on, the Undo history is remembered. I was used to the history being cleared when I closed a document. I used this behavior as a way of checkpointing my progress... now that the history is not reset, it's actually screwing me up. If I want to revert back to the last time I...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
