: I have a site which uses the re-load in correct frameset javascript, which nows works great.

: However I have trouble making the "back" links work - using the back button in the browser creates a loop back to itself, and using a JavaScript back link..

: a href="javascript:history.go (-1)

: ..doesn't help either.

: Would be grateful if you could take a look. Site at http://webmaster.serve.co.uk

: To replicate the problem go to the search page and type 'hunter'. You will be given 3 result links - choose the middle one. You will now have a top menu, a map on the left and Hunter's details on the right...try going back in the browser or back by the javascript link on the Hunter page.

: thanks


I'm not entirely sure, but the problem may lie in the fact that the the site is frame intensive... some browsers have problems dealing with frames and the back button. In any case, why not try using

history.back ()

instead of history.go (-1).

You may get better results.
