I made a quick code inverstigation and I found following:

I'm using menu and content div with property overflow:auto. This div has fixed height. All content is then displayed in this div. All works OK but when I want to use browser history to go back it doesn't work. I founded that it's the parameter overflow:auto that causes the problem. When I delete it then the browser history works.

Is there anyway how can I achieve both, scrolling content div and functional browser history?

thanks in advance for every help.

Thank you for your reply.

I'm testing my website on IE6 and Mozilla 1.7.3.

I don't know if it's a browser problem because when I use backup button in this case

it works. So I don't know....

What you proposed is a good idea that came also to my mind, but problem is that for example: I'm using 4 links that point to #chapter2, so I don't know with which one an user come to #chapter2 therefore I don't know which 'back link' to create. And creating all four makes no sense.

You'll find it will work on some browsers not others - it's a browser problem, nothing you can do about it.

How about instead of suggesting (if you do) the use of the back button, offer a back link with the anchor to suit
