Methods and systems to process a selection of a browser back button

Abstract:

Methods and systems to process a selection of a browser back button are described. The system includes a server that receives a request, over a network, for an initial user interface and communicates the initial user interface to a client machine. The initial user interface includes a client application program that monitors and identifies whether a storage location in a hidden frame is updated by a browser. The browser updates the storage location with a first user interface identifier in response to receipt of a single browser back navigation element selection. The client application program associates the first user interface identifier to a second user interface identifier responsive to the identification of the storage location as being updated. The client application program displays the second user interface in a visible frame responsive to the identification of the storage location as being updated.
