Hi guys,

We are developing an application with ASP.Net and C#. We have a back button (html link) on few pages, by clicking on back button it triggers the browser back event. So user will be able to see his last viewed results (by going only one level back).

We are calling "window.history.back();" function of Javascript to achieve this, but the problem is that its working fine in IE but not in Chrome and Firefox. Whenever user clicks on the back button, Chrome and Firefox reloads the page from server and execute all the server side events.

What we need is simply go to one step back without reloading or refreshing the page.

Please help...

Thank you for your time and help...
