Hi

I have a page that shows many thumbnail images. on load of this page i have some code that invokes a javascript which shows a message saying 'loading images'... this is hidden once all the page/images loads fully. when i navigate to some other page and then hit the back button of the browser the javascript fires and i get the 'loading images'. the images load fast (maybe from cache). but i was thinking i shouldn't be getting the 'loading images' message.

on going to a page by clicking the back button in the browser does the page reload all over again? i would think it should just go back and not do the reload. isn't that how it should work? is there a way i can make it work that way?

thnx.
