Comment #2 on issue 6888 by phistuck: Better address bar handling of javascript: (+etc.) URLs http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6888
Wow, it took me a long time to get back to this bug. I would like to refer you to something that works in IE and does not work in Chrome. Go to this URL - http://www.kdror.co.il/general/2006/p2006/ Click on one of the pictures. You will see the picture and a back button at the bottom of it (Hebrew, though, sorry). Click in will go back to the page before the page that got you into this picture. I guess it means that executing this JavaScript code which creates a new page (it seems, since it deletes the current view), does not trigger a new navigational entry and thus, making the back button 'skip' the former view and go back to two navigational entries before. This is the script - <script>function showpic(a) {document.write('<img src="'+a+'"><br><br><a href=javascript:history.back()>חזור</a>')}</script> I have not tested it in FireFox, but I guess this behavior should persist across browsers.
