    Posted: 03 February 2004 at 3:12pm

I have an ASP.NET page where I am displaying a datagrid with 5 columns and approximately 1000 rows. The first column of the grid is a hyperlink which will bring the user to a detailed summary screen for the item they have chosen from the list. The problem is that for some unknown reason, the browser's back button is no longer enabled, thus the user cannot use back to return to the datagrid list.

I am not doing anything special to disable the broswer back button and this is a real annoyance for the users.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening and how to fix it?

Thanks for your help.

You're not opening the next page in a new window?

Thanks everyone for your quick replies.

Bunce: No, I'm not opening in a new window. I guess this is a possible way to work around the problem, but it still seems like the browser back button should remain enabled.

Diep-Vriezer: I could create a back button, but again, it seems sort of unnecessary when the browser has a back button that should be working.

Anyone have any ideas why the back button becomes disabled? I noticed that the button does not become disabled if the list in the datagrid is short (under 200), so perhaps this is an issue of memory reserved for the browser's cache. Is this a possibility?

Try it with Opera and/or Netscape, see if it happens again. It could be cache idd.

This application is in-house and we use IE here, so I need to find a solution that works on for that browser. I don't have Netscape or Opera installed here, so I will have to try that experiment at home.

I guess for now I will simply open items in a new window as a work around, but it would be nice to know why the back button gets disabled sometimes.

I know, I know... It's probably a "feature".

What are you doing with postback and viewstate?

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.
