Share your thoughts, ideas, and code. Let's help each other. (1) What did you think of the article? (2) What other usability problems frustrate you? (3) Where can people get JavaScript code related to the browser back button? Cheers, - John John S. Rhodes WebWord.com -- Industrial Strength Usability http://webword.comjohn@webword.com |

You might want to take a look at Bookmarklets. They are simple tools that extend the surf and search capabilities of Netscape and Explorer web browsers. http://www.bookmarklets.com/Cheers, - John John S. Rhodes WebWord.com -- Industrial Strength Usability http://webword.comjohn@webword.com |

Just a note: using ALT+Back arrow also takes you back a page. Faster than the mouse, if you have your hands on the keyboard. I also use an nifty app called "ClickyMouse" to associate the left side of the screen with a Browser Back Operation, thus making going back extreemely fast.
2cents.

This page has good information and I'd love to pass this web page's URL along to others, but it is nearly unreadable in places, and its poor spelling and grammar would be a bad influence on readers. The main problem is ambiguity. In many sentences, it is not clear what the noun-subject or the noun-object is.
"back button drop down" must be written as "Back button drop-down menu." "Drop down" is not a noun and cannot be used as such. As an adjective phrase, it has to be hypehnated to make sense. If not, the English syntax is broken. "Back" is clearly capitalized on the Back button of every browser. How is it possible not to notice this, or not to know that proper names must be capitalized? By not capitalizing the name of the Back button, ambiguity is introduced because "back" can be a noun, verb, or adjective.

"back button drop down" has been replaced with "Back button drop-down menu" in all places in the article. I appreciate the feedback. Cheers, John S. Rhodes WebWord.com -- Industrial Strength Usability http://webword.comjohn@webword.com |

I've found a rapid repeat click of the back button usually works perhaps preventing the cached page from fully reloading
