run javascript on back button

[tyutghf]

I have a little script that enables a link on a button if a checkbox is ticked. Basically the user has to agree that the link is an external one by ticking a box, then the link becomes active.

When people browse away from the page then press the back button the checkbox remains ticked but the links are inactive, the user has to untick the box then retick the box. Is it possible to make the link active when using the back button?

Here is what I am doing

<script type='text/javascript'>//<![CDATA[ 
$(window).load(function(){
var [ignore]link[/ignore]1 = $("#to-toggle");
var [ignore]link[/ignore]2 = $("#to-toggle2");
$("#toggle").on("change", function() {
    if(this.checked) {
        [ignore]link[/ignore]1.attr("href", [ignore]link[/ignore]1.data("href"));
	[ignore]link[/ignore]2.attr("href", [ignore]link[/ignore]2.data("href"));
    } else {
        [ignore]link[/ignore]1.removeAttr("href");
	[ignore]link[/ignore]2.removeAttr("href");
    }
});

});//]]>  

</script>

<input id="toggle" type="checkbox">

<a id="to-toggle" data-href="link"><img src="image.png" /></a>
<a id="to-toggle2" data-href="[ignore]link[/ignore]2"><img src="image2.png" /></a>

Browsers simply load the already rendered page from the local cache, so script event are not triggered

You could try using 'setTimeOut' which runs a function to analyse the checkboxes and unlock as necessary.

I did a test page to check setTimeOut continued to run when you navigate away from the page and then use the back button.

wait for 5 seconds and you will get a popup alert, use the link to navigate away, click the browser back button and wait 5 seconds.

You should see the popup again.
