IE Problem?

[GhostWolf]

I've created an ASP.NET site which uses Response.Redirect to provide data to the visitor. The problem: the "Back" arrow doesn't work - from the targeted page - in IE! It works perfectly in Opera, Firefox, Safari and Chrome - but not at all in IE, (version 8).

Is this something I can correct in my coding?

Can you define "doesn't work"?

Click the back arrow, it doesn't go back. The arrow becomes disabled, but the page doesn't change.

It sounds like IE isn't resubmitting the data back to the previous page. Do you get a prompt saying it will need to resubmit data when you clikc the back button? If not, this may be an issue with your IE installation (i.e. a setting).

No, there's no "resubmit" message. The front page, (page1), is the only one that does any redirection; the target pages, (page2, etc), have no buttons for exiting the page - the browser's back button/arrow is the only way to exit them.

I've tested this on two different PCs, (both "corporate" desktops in our office), and a laptop, (personal, away from the office), and IE behaves the same on all three.

Don't depend on the browser's back and forward functionality. The might behave differently between browsers. Create your own navaigation using links, etc.
