Update: Back button fix

StangFlyer · 12-16-1999, 04:07 PM

I have implemented some new code to (hopefully) fix the back button issue and the advertising frame on the site. If you have a 4.0 browser, or newer, it should no longer register the ad frame and the back button should no longer make it scroll back through previous ads. Let me know if you find this to be the case, as I have not done extensive testing on it yet. I just checked it out in IE4 and Netscape 4.5. Atleast in these two, it worked fine. Right now it definitely does not do anything for IE3 or Netscape 2, however. I will check into doing something for them though.

I had to code a Javascript function to keep the browser from recording each unique ad URL in the browser history array after each redirect / reload for the ad frame. Now, the browser doesn't keep track of the ad frame, and therefore, the back button can't do anything with it (more or less). I still have to play with IE3 and Netscape 2 however.

That's just too much thinking for me in the morning.....! I'm glad you got it though! That Javascript stuff is pretty intense! I look at it and ooohh and aaahhh!!!

I'm glad the Stang doesn't require that Java stuff! I think I'd be in trouble! Thanks again!!
