My boss was complaining that when she hits the back button the page isn’t jumping to the position where she left it, i.e. when I scroll down and hit a link somewhere on the page that is leading me to another page, and then press the back button, the position that I’m landing on is at the top, not where I clicked the link. I asked a savvy guy about this and he told me that it has to do with the page expire time, and that in dynamically created files the time of creation equals the time of expiry, hence, when hitting the back button the page is completely reloaded and the position will be at the top again.
I got told that, e.g. Google is writing their search results into static files before sending them to the browser so the page is reloaded from the cache and only expires if something actually has changed. I’d request this functionality for a new release of the CMS. I figure this should be relatively easy for a savvy programmer, shouldn’t it?
I appreciate your efforts.
