| 317650 | 2005-01-24 22:07:00 | Is there an extintion for Firefox that allows the page to stay where it was when you press back? eg. I'm on trademe, and i click into an auction, and then i press back and i'm at the top of the page, but i want to be where i was before i clicked into the page. Any help would be cool. Daniel |

| 317651 | 2005-01-24 22:25:00 | Umm it does it by default. Try some other sites - TradeMe might set a no-cache rule or something which prevents this. Edit: From the source of their page, yes they do: META HTTP-EQUIV="pragma" CONTENT="no-cache" Edit 2: This is actually a good idea, as if you refreshed an auction and it reloaded a cached page showing you were in the lead incorrectly you'd be annoyed. Edit 3: No doubt someone will turn up shortly shouting black and blue about SCAMMME!!!!!!!!!!!111111 |

| 317653 | 2005-01-25 02:47:00 | That's because of Internet Explorer's cache problems. It's not a feature Daniel, it's a bug. It may be a 'handy' bug - until you see the ugly side. IE seems to love to cache pages at any cost, it hates actually reloading a page. This is especially bad in sites like TradeMe, when you can be fed outdated information from the browser's cache. You just have to press Ctrl+F5 to get around this, but like in Firefox that will send you to the top of the page. |

I hate that particular "feature" of Firefox as well. :( Fortunately Opera does what you want to do, ie return to where you were on the previous page. Not sure if it refreshes rather than use a cached copy but I would think that it does. Would be a very simple task to make it do so if it doesn't. :) |

| 317659 | 2005-01-25 07:10:00 | It's not a feature. It's called STANDARDS COMPLIANCE. Are you saying that a browser is standards compliant when it jumps to the top of the top of the page when you return to the previous page you were viewing? :confused: I would have thought that in this case the requirement would be to not display a preloaded cached page in order to be standards compliant and I have just tested and confirmed that Opera is definitely following that standard - the page is refreshed upon returning. It is a very handy feature to have it return to the previous location when using the "back" button and is something I sorely miss in Firefox. |
