Determine the latest page in multi tabbed browsing

[Dirk Arnoldt <di...@1und1.de>]

Hi,

I'm facing a problem with multi tabbed browsing.

In a wicket application I currently detect browser navigation (back 
button) by means of timestamps. As a result I display a warning to the 
user telling him that he should not use the back button and subsequently 
forward him to the next page in the browser history.

This works for me as long as the user doesn't use multiple browser tabs 
or windows. Is there a way to determine which pages belongs to the same 
browser tab/window?

Another problem with my current solution is, that the user can jump 
between arbitray pages in browser history. I want to redirect the user 
to the latest page from my application - which must not be the newest 
page in browser history. Is there a way to determine the latest page in 
a wicket session?

Thanks
Dirk

since wicket provides backbutton support why are you fighting it?

martin,

would be awesome if you could through up a github project of wicket + ajax +
history as an example of how to get all this to work.
