Hi all,
I have a page "Home" that has the drop down list field. This ddl contain many options, each option is a link to another page.
If I select to link a let's say page A. When I click the "Back" button on the browser to go back to the previous page and then click a button on that page. it will link to the page A instead of process the event on that button. I can solve this problem by link it back to the "Home" page, but some users may prefer to click the "back" button on the browser. Is there anyaway to solve this problem or how to refresh the page by "Back" button?
Thanks
lehuong
 
No, the back button is part of the Internet Explorer application, not the Web Application or Web Site, and I don't think there's a lot you can do with it.

put a user control button back (html control) in each page
and onClick = "javascript:history.back(-1)" so that users prefer to click u r back button rather than browsers back button.
