Browser back button

Postby Rumaan » Wed Jun 23, 2010 9:57 pm

I have seen that now the browser back button doesn't work in cantr. The back buttons provided by the cantr are eccentric. They don't take you back to the previous page viewed but take you to something random, sometimes inventory, sometimes the list of people etc. I wish the back button just took you to the previous page viewed. It would be great if a keyboard shortcut can be added too. It is really annoying at times to scroll all the way down to access the back button.

My back button doesn't work either. if you make sure you've nothing selected (no text box or anything) then you'll probably find that the backspace key works just as well. Its what I have to use

I use the browser's back button all the time with Cantr. Haven't noticed any problems with it today.

I think its more of a IE problem than a cantr one. I've had problems with it for months on lots of sites.

I will confirm that at work, where they make us use IE on the testing computers, the [Back] is a bit wonky, and really seems to act up particularly if you catch it during the javascript refresher/updater 'ticks'.
At home, I have no problems using Firefox. :)

I use google chrome. The back button worked fine until a few days ago. But now I get an error message and I have to refresh the page each time I use the browser back button. I have checked on other sites and I have a problem only with cantr.

I did a bit of research into it back when mine first started. Came up with it was something to do with an add-on. Never bothered to find out which though.

I am usually okay on firefox too, though there have been occasional freezes. I do rely on the back button alot though when conversations are moving fast, I check the events tab before sending some convo in. I guess I am 'stopping to listen' before making a statement that may not even be relevant anymore. Too darn old to get any better at typing, so thats usually the crutch for my slow thinking characters.

I hope they make you use other browsers to test as well...

Most business software only supports IE. We are just starting to support FireFox at my company, but there is such a small amount of business use out there for non-tech people.

I only use IE for certain application, and even try to get away with using IE tabs in FrieFox when I can :)
