Death of the Back Button
The PHP Grind - June 4th, 2008
I’m a big fan of ExtJs, and my current project is using a lot of it to enhance the user’s experience. But, today I received an email listing a number of small issues with the code currently in production. The one that struck me the most was how the “Back” button doesn’t work sometimes.
Unfortunately, there isn’t much I can do about it. When JavaScript-based tools take over the UI to enhance the user’s experience, the “Back” button is left behind. I believe the death of the “Back” button in our future. What can someone possibly tell the client that will make sense to non-programmer ears?
