Hi there,

Some of you may be aware of the "problem" with Jquery plugins such thickbox , Lightbox,Fancybox etc.) where some users consider the back button to be broken. Basically, after loading a image/vid in thickbox, if you press the browser back button, it takes the user back to the page before the one they used to launch the image/vid, rather than that page itself.

If thats unclear, navigate to http://jquery.com/demo/thickbox/ (having already visited any other page in that browser tab first!) hit one of the demos and, once its loaded, press the back button - you will see what I mean.

There is a lot of discussion around whether this is in fact "broken", however, I need to find a "solution" regardless.

Im looking at using the jquery-history-plugin but am not having much luck at all.

Does anyone have any experience of combining these two? (or even with Lightbox etc.) or with any other method thatb might be of use to me.

Thanks in advance!
