back button skips page in IE?????
Typical MS, most of there software just doesn't do what it's meant to do sometimes, but before you find out what the problem is, its working fine again (well working as fine as MS software can).
As the address bar changes all you have to do is click the refresh button - this usually works for me when I have the same problem.
I'm sure it's some secret Gates conspiracy, he's probably hacking your bank account details and you're lead to believe that it's just the back button that isn't working.
Maybe I've just been watching too much TV.

TOTALLY BAFFLED by the following problem: When using IE, the browser's back button doesn't always work. Once I'm at the index page, and click on an inner link to the site, when I use the browser's back button, the content of the page doesn't change (even though the address bar will change correctly, indicating that the back button "worked") If I click the back button again, I go to the site I was at before visiting the problem site. What makes this most baffling, is that the problem is inconsistent; it doesn't always happen, however it has happened on many machines that I've tested it out on.
ANY IDEAS. It's driving me mad.
Thanks
