Hello:
I have done some more extensive testing on this problem, and wished to report my
results.
In Netscape 3/4x, IE 5.x, etc. the javascript:history.go(-3); jumps to a
specific previous page in a form-based site. These browsers all work
identically. Mozilla 1 .0 and Netscape 7 jump one page further back.
I believe that I now know why in our situation it is doing this. On our
form-based site, we use a <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
CONTENT="1;URL=http://www.testsite.com"> to get to a specific page automatically
(we do this to pass certain parameters to Lasso, a database manipulation tool).
It is my opinion that Mozilla 1.0/Netscape 7 is not counting this refresh page
in the history list, and the older browsers are.
This is of course a minor issue and I doubt that anyone else would ever see
this. It's easier for us to set up our site in a different way than it is for
you to go through mountains of code looking for a trivial problem. On regular
sites with no automatic refreshes, the javascript:history.go(#); works correctly.
Thank you, and keep up the great work on Mozilla.
