RE: Out of sequence page order, please try again ... Error (fwd)

Mainly an FYI answer to Mike Gabbard's question which was posted in two fora (forums?). Note that the question is about the HTML client, and trying to access the pages out of order does not work. You will probably be better able to handle this with the Java client when it is released, though it depends in part on whether the web browser caches the previous pages or not, and it probably doesn't because it is told not to do so.

Error Hi Mike, This is the way it is supposed to work. The buttons within the application actually trigger the 4GL code to do whatever it needs to to get the next or previous page (open/close windows/forms, etc...). The browser back and forward buttons simply tell the browser to display the previous HTML page, so the needed code never gets triggered. One way to make this less confusing to users might be to have the browser open without a toolbar or menu. This can be done using javascript or (gulp!) vbscript...
