Why Is Javascript:history.go(-1); Not Working On Mobile Devices?

First, some background: I have an application which presents a search page (html form) to the user. Once criteria have been filled out and the Search button is clicked, results app

Solution 1:

Use:

    <a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Back to Results</a>

ie not in "onclick" but in "href" - that's work

Solution 2:

For Android, you need to enable javascript in the webview :

webView.getSettings().setJavaScriptEnabled(true);

Solution 3:

What method are you using to pass filters to your search page? POST or GET?

If you're using a POST then you would have to resubmit your filters when they go back, otherwise your page won't have anything to filter on.

Try switching to a GET and see if that works.

I think the important distinction is that it is working (i.e. sending you back a page), but your mobile device isn't reposting your form fields?
