I’m having a little issue with one of the (supposedly) default behaviors of IE. After navigating through a few links within the same HTML page (which resides in a frame), the IE Back button will not reverse navigate through those links within the same page. I’ve tried anchors that use just an identifier href (href=”#i21) and a page-identifier combination (href=”thispage.htm#i21″) and both yield the same result.
I do have some Javascript attached to the body onload event, but neither of these scripts reload pages, they only modify stylesheet information and window size. The pages do have many div elements that are used for special styling, a few media objects, and some CSS position:absolute displayed header information within the pages that are causing problems. Could any of these be affecting the back button navigation? Could it be something in the frameset file that causes this?
Just hoping someone might have run into this issue before and have come across some common causes for this sort of developer provoked misbehavior.
Thanks,
Matt
