Add 'Back' links to all browse mode pages
Last modified: 2011-11-06 23:23:36 UTC
One of the things that makes the web interface clunky is a result of the use of frames. After you add an album or a track to the playlist, a 'Back' usually causes the playlist to reload in its frame, rather than taking the user back in the browse frame. If you add several individual songs, or if the playlist refreshes itself by its timer, then it usually takes several Backs to move the browse window up a level. This can addressed by adding a Back link or button that exececutes a javascript history.back() to the pages within the browse frame. This should make the page within the frame go back a level. Put the link either be on the same line as the cookie crumb navigation (perhaps right-justified on the line) or immediately below it.
Agree. Many times after adding a song it is hard to get back to the last spot you were browsing. Would be nice!
The Javascript location.replace() method can be used to change a page or frame without creating a new history entry. It seems like it would be better to modify the add/play links to use this whenever possible; if done unobtrusively, the link would still work without JS as well.

Unassigned bugs cannot have a priority.
