How to Detect Browser Back Button event - Cross Browser

Question

How do you definitively detect whether or not the user has pressed the back button in the browser?

How do you enforce the use of an in-page back button inside a sin

Answer 1

 


 $(document).ready(function () {
        if ($("#__pageLoaded").val() != 1) {

            $("#__pageLoaded").val(1);


        } else {
            shared.isBackLoad = true;
            $("#__pageLoaded").val(1);  

            // Call any function that handles your back event

        }
    });

The above code worked for me. On mobile browsers, when the user clicked on the back button, we wanted to restore the page state as per his previous visit.
