    « on: May 15, 2011, 08:05:02 PM »
    Hello everyone , I have encountered a problem with scrolling down the pages , say I am scrolling down the page on ebay , in the middle of that page I choose an item , I click on it ,view it then I go back to search results and instead going to the middle of the page where I found my last viewed item the page goes right up to the top . I tried different sources of information but with no sucess , any help would be appreciated .
    Thanks

    I use the Backspace key or the Left arrow in the address bar to return to last view.  How are you "going back"???

    I use the Backspace key ...
    How does that work?

    My most frequent method of going back is to right click and select Back from the right-click menu.

      If I use back arrow the page does go back to previous one only to the top of that page , it does not go back to the place where I stopped scrolling , so if I stopped scrolling half way through one page , I picked an item viewed it then went back to previous page I would be at the top of that page instead of half way down , it is so annoying .

      I've got a five button mouse and one of the buttons is programmed for back.  Works great!  On MSNBC when I'm in the middle of the page and I hit the back button and it will go to the top of the page for a second, then go back to where I was within a second or two.

      Have you tried a different browser?

      The backspace key is commonly used to go back a page when exploring folders in graphical environments, or when browsing the Web in web browsers.

      Thanks. I confess I don't recall ever being aware of this use of the backspace key.  I just tested it right in this forum and, by golly, it works.  :D

      Glad it worked for you, soybean.  Always happy to teach an old bean a new trick. O:)
