Backing Up in Frames

YOUR LETTER:

Great site. I have been impressed with Gateway 2000 since I bought my first machine about 4 years ago. Love it.

My greatest difficulty with the web site is the lack of the Back button anywhere. Every time I hit back, I got thrown out of the site to a previous site. Sometimes I just want to go back to the previous screen. Any hints?

Keep up the good work.

Dear John:

We've gotten quite a few comments on this "feature" actually, so we're glad we've got this forum to reply. Keep your questions coming.

For people using Netscape Navigator, the tried and true method of backing up one page or more within a frame is to click your right mouse button and choose "back in frame" from the drop down list. If this annoys you to no end (as it does some of us), feel free to check out our Cool Tools page to download the latest version of Netscape, where you can use your "back" button in the Netscape toolbar as nature intended.

In Microsoft Explorer you should be able to use your "back" button with version 3.0 and above. Otherwise, just click "Go" from the title bar and choose "back". But beware, with either browser when you try to use the "refresh" ("reload" in Netscape) button you will be kicked back to the first page of frames you encountered. To combat this in Netscape click on "View" and choose "Reload Frame". In Microsoft Explorer click your right mouse button and choose "refresh" from the drop down menu.

If all else fails and you're still having trouble, just choose the "No frames" link from our side navigation bar to lose the frames altogether. But be forewarned, if you're anywhere in our site other than the main page, you'll get booted back to the main page quicker than Bessie can moo, so take care, and keep surfing!
