I am writing an application that if the user hits back, it may resend the same information and mess up the flow and integrity of data. How do I disable it for users who are with and without javascript on? ...
I'm using window.onback = history.forward(); to prevent users from resubmitting data. I know it's a hack and I don't like it either, but that's not what this question is about. The problem is that the code prevents other pages from going back to the page with the code. Let me clarify. PageA.aspx has the JavaScript code in it. The user s...
When a web form is submitted and takes the user to another page, it is quite often the case that the user will click the Back button in order to submit the form again (the form is an advanced search in my case.)

Specifically, I'm looking to mimic back button behavior with AJAX, and I don't want to attach #uglyhashes to every URL, which seems to be the standard practice of most solutions I've seen. (For what it's worth, I'm perfectly fine with a solution that does not work at all in IE. :P ) ...
I have a web page that uses a frameset. Due to scripting and object dependencies, I need to load the frames in a specific order.

The Back and Forward buttons in a browser or browser-like application navigate temporally (sequence in which user navigated pages), which may not necessarily reflect the logical order of the pages. Are there any studies that looked at how this impacts the user's mental model? Any thoughts on how to improve usability and reduce confusion?...
Using JavaScript, is there a way to update window.location.hash without scrolling the web page? I have clickable title elements that toggle the visibility of a div directly beneath them.
