Probably a really stupid question - Page 2

why would I need to know that? When I'm browsing, I'm using my mouse, not my keyboard. Plus I like to burn my bridges! Real Intrepid Internet Explorers never go Back!

OK, my mistake. When she said back button I though she meant clicking the back button with the mouse, not the backspace button on the keyboard.

That's why it seemed incredulous that you wouldn't know that.

*chuckles* ok. Fair enough.

Ever herard of Bookmarklets?

It is javascript code stored in a bookmark ('favourites' for IE users). There are lots out there.

I use this for going to the next page:

Code:

javascript:(function(){ var e,s; IB=1; function isDigit(c) { return ("0" <= c && c <= "9") } L = location.href; LL = L.length; for (e=LL-1; e>=0; --e) if (isDigit(L.charAt(e))) { for(s=e-1; s>=0; --s) if (!isDigit(L.charAt(s))) break; break; } ++s; if (e<0) return; oldNum = L.substring(s,e+1); newNum = "" + (parseInt(oldNum,10) + IB); while (newNum.length < oldNum.length) newNum = "0" + newNum; location.href = L.substring(0,s) + newNum + L.slice(e+1); })();

It increases the last number in the current URL by 1.

So the &page=2 in the URL becomes &page=3 for example.

Assign it to a context menu item and/or hot key in your browser. Bingo!

(I use Opera browser)
