a4j:status question

[mitroiasi]

Hi,

I am using in my application in several places the component a4j:status.
The component works great but there is a problem when the back button of the browser is used.

Is there a possibility to not load the a4j:status component when the back button of the browser is pressed?

RichFaces has no facilities to handle browser back button.

Hi Ilya,

But I don't want to handle the back button of the browser.
What I want is something else.

In my web-application pages I have next and back buttons.
When I press next button this status component is shown.
On the next page I press the back button of the browser. The browser tries to get me to the last page. But it shows the status and nothing happens.
I saw this behaviour also at the component modalPanel.
On the first page a have a link which shows a modalPanel. On the modalPanel I have 2 buttons with "Yes" or "No". When I press "No" the modalPanel dissapears and the first page is shown. When I press "Yes" the second page is shown and, of course, the modalPanel dissapears.
But when on the second page I press the back button from the browser, the browser tries to show the first page. But the modalPanel is already opened.

How can I make the modalPanel not to be shown from the beginning?

I hope I have explained my problem propertly.

Than you

Maybe just implement your navigation via standard controls?

Hello, i advice to avoid back-button because you can go to pages with data states not actual any more (inconsistent data). (Make navigation with controls inside pages (jsf controls.)
To disable browser back i use following in every page (f.i. in facelet template)

history.forward();

sorry here the code:
script type=text/javascript"
history.forward();
