Show/Hide IE Problem

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 06.2007

I have a show and hide script that allows users to show and hide menus they want.

The problem I have is that when a user hides a menu for example and then navigates to another page, if they click the back button the menu is still shown as IE has not stored the new display value.

In FireFox this is not the case as it remembers the last state so when you click the back button the menu is still not shown.

Is there anyway around this or has anyone else had a similar problem?

Page reloads vary from browser to browser, I'd put the data into a JavaScript [URL=http://www.quirksmode.org/js/cookies.html]cookie[/URL].

I've already got the users settings stored in a db. When the page loads the settings are then loaded onto the page. Then the user can update which menu's are show/hidden and this is updated in my db via ajax.

I've just checked my mates Facebook account and their Show/Hide menu's don't work in IE either. Hide some content and click another page, then click the back button and the content is still show. If you click refresh it's hidden.

Success!
