I am not a Flash expert by any means, so naturally your instructions on enabling the back button are a bit confusing. I'm just starting, and cannot locate the "flashframe.html from the Flash99good.com source files". Any suggestions???

Thank you in advance.<br/><br/>

By substituting each frame, one for the .swf file that activates the secondary iframe (used for the back-&-forward stage), you can create a complete user experience that provides a unified page layout with a single scroll. This hybrid architecture greatly resolves the dilemma that has vexed interactive developers for a long time – that being the users involuntarily triggering of the back button, thus interrupting the intended experience.  By scripting outside of the Flash “box”, and keeping in mind the whole conventional user experience, this techniques does provide a solution that reduces errors in most forms of navigation.<br/><br/>

Imagine a CMS system connected to Flash - would you make the CMS output twice as many files? How does it know to create two files for each one published? Would someone need to develop a CMS to run in this manner just for this Flash hack? Better to find a better solution altogether, one that doesn't involve a dying method of markup: the frameset. Good tutorial otherwise, on how to update the developers' code.<br/><br/>

It also does not go back to the web page visited prior to entering the site. For a complete solution that does not use frames, works as one expects the back button to work and actually enhances search engine rankings go to http://www.moxiemedia.ca.<br/><br/>

M$IE is utter crap even in its eighth version because it still violates most standards as you can read at http://freez.security-portal.cz/index.php?article=53

M$IE could not be released until it's truly standard compliant, like those browsers above.<br/><br/>

There appears to be loads of discussion on the net but no actual solutions.  I can't seem to even work out an agreeable partial solution to my problem :-( 

Hopefully you will be able to understand this brief description of my page functionality: 
The webpage basically creates further user inputs on the same page when the user changes a dropdownlist via an autopostback onSelectionChanged event. 

If the user then presses the browser back button the page is redisplayed with the users selections made, but not the new further input previously automatically triggered.  This means that the user would then have to change their selections in order to re-trigger the onSelectionChanged and hence to display the further inputs. (And then change back to their original selections to see the first generated list.) 

I've played about with the cache testing both in release and debug modes (as I read somewhere that debug affects cache parameters), but all I can get it to do is the show "Page has expired" warning. 

Admittedly if the user then bothers to press the refresh button my page_load handles the current user selections and redisplays the lists with the new one showing as if the onChange event had been fired, but this is not satisfactory. 

Surely there must be a way of forcing the page to never cache, but rather than show expired warnings execute the page_load function? 

I'm sorry Jim it may be me being thick, but I'm not sure what you mean by your suggestion, how does the page with the redirect get triggered by the back button rather than the standard warning page? - this sounds like it might work.<br/><br/>
