how would one implement a back-button as a commandbutton that works universally? with back button i don't mean the browser-button, but rather a button that sits somewhere on the page. it is not always possible to use the Post-redirect-get pattern.  its quite impractial to pass around the information on every single where the button should point to.  is there maybe a reserved keyword for a navigation rule that points to the last navigation rule applied?

Not system or application shortcuts, but keyboard shortcuts used specifically on a certain webpage.  Gmail shortcuts for example.  Example:  Press Alt+f while on Facebook it will change the feed from 'Top Stories' to 'Most Recent' and vice versa.  And allow the user to set these shortcuts themselves? Perhaps a chrome extension?

After logging into one Stack Exchange site, when I visit another SE site, it says to me, welcome back - user - click here to refresh - web page.   Isn't it possible to refresh the page using code &amp; without the user's interaction?

Is a "home" button on the navigation required if there is a link to the homepage using the company's logo?   Increasingly I have noticed more and more websites using the logo as a link to return to home instead of a clear Home button in the navigation but haven't found any good proof or research to suggest that this is best approach.   Is there a best practice guidelines or some kind of criteria (e.g. advanced users vs beginners) that should aid in making this decision.   Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. Thanks

I've seen this question already:   I remember that Chrome used to do this if you go to the History view and enter a query in the search box there.  However, it's not working for me anymore. I can't find anything now!  Did Chrome stopped doing this? Am I missing something? Do I have to enable/disable something?

How do I get the link to a post on the mobile SE app for Android so that I can include it in another post, answer, or comment (using Markdown)?   The only solution I found is choose "open in browser" from "more options" and copy the link from there.

I'm trying to direct a browser to a different page. If I wanted a GET request, I might say  document.location.href = 'http://example.com/q=a';   But the resource I'm trying to access won't respond properly unless I use a POST request. If this were not dynamically generated, I might use the HTML  &lt;form action="http://example.com/" method="POST"&gt;   &lt;input type="hidden" name="q" value="a"&gt; &lt;/form&gt;   Then I would just submit the form from the DOM.  But really I would like JavaScript code that allows me to say  post_to_url('http://example.com/', {'q':'a'});   What's the best cross browser implementation?  Edit   I'm sorry I was not clear. I need a solution that changes the location of the browser, just like submitting a form. If this is possible with , it is not obvious. And this should not be asynchronous, nor use XML, so Ajax is not the answer.

I created a shortcut via "make link" option. When I enter to this shortcut's folder I can't see any folders above it so I can't easily navigate to them.  Is there a way to go one folder up in the GUI? Maybe a hotkey? (Can't do cd .. this time ^__^ ).      In Windows for example I am indeed able to navigate in the way I describe, here is a Win10 image that explains it:

Steps to reproduce:   Ask a question, open the "Ask on which site?" dropdown menu. Press the back button.   Issue: the menu will disappear and you can't bring it back by tapping the arrow or the field. Only typing text or selecting another field then tapping back will return the dropdown menu.

It is possible to make a hyperref to go to page x, but how we can define a custom anchor to go a destination line?  For example:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage{lipsum}  \begin{document}   \lipsum[1]   \lipsum[2]   THE DESTINATION LINE (anchor x)   \lipsum[3]   \lipsum[4]   CLICK HERE (go to anchor x)   \lipsum[5] \end{document}   How to click on CLICK HERE and goes to the DESTINATION LINE? I mean displaying THE DESTINATION LINE as the first line in the pdf reader.

I do some minor programming and web work for a local community college. Work that includes maintaining a very large and soul destroying website that consists of a hodge podge of VBScript, javascript, Dreamweaver generated cruft and a collection of add-ons that various conmen have convinced them to buy over the years.   A few days ago I got a call "The website is locking up for people using Safari!" Okay, step one download Safari(v3.1.2), step two surf to the site. Everything appears to work fine.  Long story short I finally isolated the problem and it relates to Safari's back button. The website uses a fancy-pants javascript menu that works in every browser I've tried including Safari, the first time around. But in Safari if you follow a link off the page and then hit the back button the menu no longer works.  I made a pared down webpage to illustrate the principle.  &lt;!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"&gt; &lt;html&gt; &lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;Safari Back Button Test&lt;/title&gt; &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"&gt; &lt;/head&gt; &lt;body onload="alert('Hello');"&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.codinghorror.com"&gt;Coding Horror&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/body&gt; &lt;/html&gt;   Load the page and you see the alert box. Then follow the link off the page and hit the back button. In IE and Firefox you see the alert box again, in Safari you do not.  After a vigorous googling I've discovered others with similar problems but no really satisfactory answers. So my question is how can I make my pages work the same way in Safari after the user hits the back button as they do in other browsers?  If this is a stupid question please be gentle, javascript is somewhat new to me.

Is there a hook I can use that when a post is created or updated it goes back to the list/table page of all the posts. If it is also possible to target a post type as well that would be cracking.  It's a really silly request I know and have argued the toss about it but wanted to make sure it was achievable if not very user friendly.  Steve

I would like to know if anyone knows whether a text only mention in a post i.e. www.example.com (NOT placed in &lt;a&gt; tag) counts as a backlink and actually gets followed and carries any weight in terms of PageRank (link juice)?  According to  they have made up their mind that it definitely does count, but not sure how knowledgable these folks are...

I am able to visit any Stack Exchange site and view all my posts to such site. However, I would like to be able to view all of my posts to all Stack Exchange sites in reverse chronological order, all on one page, and not just per-site posts. Is there a way to achieve this via the user interface?

Which is the best place to post a URL to get a backlink?   Signature Forum profile Answering a question and giving a related post URL as the answer   Do Google's algorithms consider all of these to be spam/blackhat?

Not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but I noticed today that if I , it annoyingly one-boxes a link to the room, which is not a link to the info page! That's it. I'm gonna pack up and leave! Such annoyance! But for the time being,  Is this behavior expected? If so, what is the reason for changing the links? If this is really a bug since the responsible bot is not seeing parts of the URLs and ends up one-boxing, and hence linking to the wrong message, could this be fixed please? Worth pointing out that too much exposure to annoying things results in a higher blood pressure.
