After viewing, user clicked "Back" and returned to previous page, but instead of returning to the same middle section of the page, the top of the page is shown. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open a web page and scroll to the middle section. 2.Click on a link which open a new page (not a new window). 3.Click on the "Back" button. 4. Check the section of the web page that is being displayed. Actual Results: The top section of the page is shown. Expected Results: The browser should return to the exact section of the previous page, so it is easier for users to browse pages such as news website. Does this has to do with the HTML code?
My Yahoo has the following line. document.writeln('<META HTTP-EQUIV="Pragma" CONTENT="no-cache">'); bug 105395 covers this case and is wontfix
