Re: FN-FORUM: Back buttons

Its my belief that you should never use a javascript back button,
purely because of your previous point, browsers already have that back
button and i REALLY hate it when javascript controls my browser for
me.

I think the best practice is to use real links. I personally think
that if your user feels they have to hit the back button often, its
not a very useable site, especially if they have to click it twice. In
your case rather than have a back -2, to go back from the update page
to the list, there should be a proper link on the update page that
goes to the list. That way you're creating a natural forward flow
throughout the site.

Thats what i'd do anyway. What do people think?
