"Back" Button doesn't work in Gmail pages anymore.

Hi Folks - back again with another wierd problem

Just recently when I go to my Gmail Inbox page and click on a link to a message when on the message page the "Back" button stops working.

Other sites are still o.k. even when liked to from the message page with the problems.......

...and selecting theinbox from the "Drop Down" list from the "Back" button still works o.k......

....and even wierder when I click the "Back" button the "Forward" button highlights as if it HAS gone back a link - AND if I then click "Refesh" the inbox page is then displayed

...I use the "Standard With Chat" view but the "Basic" View works fine - I guess as it doesn't use the Dynamic aspects or something

Any suggestions ?

P.S. Almost forgot - Using IE6

Pages that make use of AJAX frequently don't respond to ordinary controls from the browser as the page is in fact made up of a variety of scripts sourcing and displaying dynamic content from a number of different locations on a site using separate connections to the webserver. Some call it progress

....however - it used to work on this PC and it still works on my other PC

The last time I found functionality gone astray in IE it turned out to be malware. Nothing had detected (Adaware, spybot etc) it until I tried the MS antispyware thingummy that had all sorts of reset IE features.

Mind you, it was someone elses machine and it was the old MS tool, the new one (forgotten the new name) doesn't install on our work machines so not played with it for a while.

the really sad thing is i just google image searched for "fire ox" - which means some poor misguided soul (idiot) has had a reason to actually draw a picture of a fiery ox.

ps - ask kieran, my humour gets very old very fast
