Hi,
We have developed a reporting system using .NET 2.0 data grids. It supports
drill-down reports via LinkButtons and column sorting via standard datagrid
events. Our problem is that after some random combination of drill-downs and
column sorts, the back button in IE 7 loses it's history and goes gray. I can
clearly see the page trail in the Explorer Bar->History window but, for some
reason, the back button will occasionally freak out and go gray. Any
help/pointers would be appreciated.

Client running on XP SP2 with IE 7.0.5730.13 but I've seen this happen on
other flavors of IE also.

As a note, we cannot reproduce this bug in FF or Safari.

TIA,
Donn

Yep, that's the way it is

Would you care to elaborate? Is there a kb article or bug report that I can
reference for my client?

TIA,
Donn

I don't know of any articles.
I'm not sure enough to mention a guess as to why.
Sometimes the back button loses some of its history.
