That is strange you can go back. I just tested it on a couple sites with ThickBox on it and I can't go back. It doesn't add hashes to the url string even. I'm using FF 3.0.2. What version are you using? I can't seem to get the back to close the ThickBox on Firefox. If I go back it goes back to the previous page in all the major browsers, and I couldn't find anything in the ThickBox code to override the back button.
Are you using a key command or just pressing the button and what version of FF are you using? ripcurlksm wrote: > > > > OscarGodson wrote: >> >> >> >> ripcurlksm wrote: >>> >>> I’ve had some users that accidentally hit back on their browsers when >>> trying to close the thickbox (instead of hitting the Close Button)... is >>> there a way to make it so the user can click back on their browser and >>> it’ll close the thickbox, instead of the browser going back to the >>> previous page in the history? >>> >>> Or as an alternative, could I disable the back button while a thickbox >>> is open?
