Issue with back button not returning

[rwoody]

I created a new page to hold a video to demonstrate a customer's upcoming product using a small flash module. That works perfectly, but the back button on the video's page returns you to the home page, not the page previously visited.

I've double checked and the back button code is correct, but again, it will only return to the index page.

<div class="buttonRow back"><?php echo zen_back_link() . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BACK, BUTTON_BACK_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

You can see the issue by clicking here

Any suggestions? All my other back buttons work fine.

Ruth-

Which page did you clone to make that one? I think it is not setting the snapshot and is "lost" and so only goes home.

I used the latest version of "about us" here's the tpl_new_product_info_default.php that I created

<?php
/**

 * Loaded automatically by index.php?main_page=new_product_info.<br />

?>
<div class="centerColumn" id="new_product_info">
<h1 id="newProductInfoHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>

<div id="newProductInfoHeading" class="content">
<?php
/**
 * require the html_define for the new_product_info page
 */
  require($define_page);
?>
</div>

<div class="buttonRow back"><?php echo zen_back_link() . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BACK, BUTTON_BACK_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

I have the same problem--back button goes to index page for my new define pages.

So to fix it, I just replaced the button code in tpl_page_8_default.php

<div class="buttonRow back"><?php echo zen_back_link() . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BACK, BUTTON_BACK_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

with this:

<div class="buttonRow back"><a href="javascript:history.go(-1);return true;" alt="back"><?php echo zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BACK, BUTTON_BACK_ALT); ?></a></div>

Correction, that code works fine on Safari, but on IE7 the button doesn't work and I get an error on the page. Instead remove the "return true;" :

<div class="buttonRow back"><a href="javascript:history.go(-1);" alt="back"><?php echo zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_BACK, BUTTON_BACK_ALT); ?></a></div>

That seems to work on both.
