So we’ve all been to some annoying websites that disable the back button in your browser. This can be circumvented by quickly pressing the back button two or three times. My question is: what is exactly happening when the back button is disabled and 2.) why does clicking the button two or three times fix the problem? Dying for an answer, don’t let me down, SO! 🙂
It’s redirection – you click a link to page
awhich redirects to pageb. When you click back you go back to pageawhich instantly redirects you back to pageb. If you click twice quickly then there isn’t time to redirect.I don’t think your question has anything to do with Twitter. There’s another back-button problem with JavaScript apps that don’t do page reloads where changes to the page don’t register as history events, so pressing back takes you back much further than you expected. But that’s a completely unrelated issue.
