The Safari Back Button Problem

by

Stefan’s iframe solution works, but if that’s not elegant enough, I find the following JavaScript also solves it:

window.onunload = function(){};

That is, if your menu is JavaScript, then you might prefer to solve this issue with JavaScript too.

The unload event handler definition idea came from this Firefox 1.5 article: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Using_Firefox_1.5_caching.
