            Description

              Hello, I would like to know the status of Back button functionality in ICEFaces. What i exactly mean is some kind of history between the ajax calls like RSH, or hash approach. The final goal is to have let's say PanelStack component and when we switch several times the visible panel when the user hits back he must see the previous panel.
            Thanks.

                I would like to add that the approach described by this article http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2005/10/26/ajax-handling-bookmarks-and-back-button.html

                works with ICEFaces in Internet explorer 7.0. But when i tryed to use it with mozilla it couldn't find the submit javascript of the form. If requested I can give source code to test.

                I used rsh ( http://code.google.com/p/reallysimplehistory/ )
                and it works in firefox, but not in IE7

                in <HEAD> :

                <script type="text/javascript" src="../javascript/json2005.js"></script>
                <script type="text/javascript" src="../javascript/rsh.compressed.js"></script>
                <script type="text/javascript">
                window.dhtmlHistory.create({
                toJSON: function(o)

                { return JSON.stringify(o);}

                , fromJSON: function(s)

                { return JSON.parse(s);}


                });
                var historyChange = function(newLocation, historyData)

                { document.getElementById("headerForm:historyHiddenData").value = newLocation; iceSubmitPartial(document.getElementById("headerForm"),document.getElementById("headerForm:HistoryBtn"),MouseEvent.CLICK); }


                historyActionListener = function (location, action)

                { dhtmlHistory.add(location, action); }

                window.onload = function()

                { dhtmlHistory.initialize(); dhtmlHistory.addListener(historyChange); }

                ;
                </script>

                hidden components in the page :

                <!-- hidden browser navigation -->
                <ice:commandButton id="HistoryBtn" value="" action="HISTORY" visible="false"/>
                <ice:inputHidden id="historyHiddenData" value="" />

                I have JSf a navigation handler :

                public void handleNavigation(FacesContext facesContext, String actionMethod, String actionName) {

                HtmlInputHidden input = ((HtmlInputHidden) facesContext.getViewRoot().findComponent(
                "headerForm:historyHiddenData"));
                if (input != null) {
                String value = input.getValue().toString();
                String viewId = value;
                if ((value != null) && (value != ""))

                { UIViewRoot root = facesContext.getApplication().getViewHandler().createView(facesContext, viewId); facesContext.setViewRoot(root); }

                }

                I save the history only when I click on a menuitem :
                MenuItem menuItem = new MenuItem();

                String navUrl = getNavigationUrl(action);
                if (navUrl != null)
                menuItem.setOnclick("historyActionListener('" + navUrl + "' , '"
                + action + "')");

                function getNavigationUrl returns the navigation url associated with this outcome.

                Ok in Firefox 3, but no javascript errors in IE7 and it doesn't works.

                Hi, Can you please tell the procedure for handling the browser back button functionality using icefaces. When I click on the browser back button, it navigates to the first page, instead of the previous page. Can you please attach a working example if possible.

                Please see ICE-4794 for a general discussion of the back problem.
                My solution works only if you track each page validation to put it in the browser navigation history via RSH.
