Can I press the back button on a weg page and not loose the existing page?

If you have a static page you can always go back. If it's a form page you might lose the info that you might have typed in it. Browsers generally cache the contents of the page on your hard drive anyway.

Dynamic pages by definition have to regenerate the info on the webpage when you go back to them.

To get around this issue you might simply open up another duplicate window and then go back.

What I meant by 'loose the page' is say I do a search in google and find a page (say page 3) with suitable information. I want to keep that page and return to the previous pages to select more suitable information. Clicking the back arrow will mean that I have to loose the current page which I don't want to.

Then you'll have to either do file, new, window; which opens the current page in a different window (and also has the same pages on the back button) and use either of those windows to go back, or open the previous pages in a new window by right clicking the link and saying open in new window.

Thanks for your help.
