Build ID: 1999050408 Platform tested against: Windows NT The above URL (occasionally) contains advertisements. If you click on one of those ads, you should go to the linked site - but this isn't working yet due to problems with trailing slashes in relative URLs (I think). In any case, if you go to a site and click on a link that doesn't go anywhere (ie results in an 'Unable to locate host' error), for every time you try to go to that site, you have to press the Back button one more time to get to the previous site. Just to make this clear: - launch the browser - go to Yahoo! or another site - go to the above URL - click on the ad 5 times - in order to get back to Yahoo!, you now have to click Back 6 times

Sounds like the button works. Over to don.

Radha, is this a session history problem or a netlib bug?

I would say this is a feature question. Today in communicator 4.5 if you typed in a illegal URL in the urlbar and then went on to do other stuff, when you hit back, several times to get all the way back, you will stumble in to the illegal url that you typed in. URLs are recorded in the history list irrespective of whether a page was loaded successfully or not. Do we want to maintain this behavior or change the beavior so that history has only the successful URLs visited? Also, I believe that this problem of "Not going anywhere from the banner ad" should get fixed eventually, because it works in 4.5. cc'ing don & karnaze

Moving to future milestone, since there are several ways, this behavior is going to be affected in the future.

Since a bunch of things like netcenter integration, a local error page etc... affect this. I'm moving this out to M15.

If a url load fails, it is taken out of session history. That s'd fix this problem. Please verify
