Web pages that refuse the 'back' button.
http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/2007/01/moonlit_beach.php
If you're on Google Images (whatever) and actually looking through
interesting pics, when you come across a site that uses this, it's so
frustrating.
I know it's to keep you on the website, but if you were in a highstreet
shop and the manager locked the door to stop you from leaving, the police
would be involved soonish I think.
Yeah, I know, bad example, but... Bad netiquette too.

Ha, dang, direct link. Ok, just put in GI 'moonlit beach' - top row, 5th
entry. Then go back...

Back button seems to be working for me. Firefox 2.
What behaviour are you seeing?

Ah, it's not that the back button's disabled. What's happening is that the
site has some javascript to detect if it is in a frame (like the google
images frame) and reload to a full page if it is. So when you hit back,
you're going back to the framed site, which javascript then takes you out of
back to the full screen site.
Easy fix. In forefox, click the arrow next to the back button and select the
google images page (2 down). Ie probably similar.
It's go nothing to do with keeping you on the page, it's to prevent the site
from appearing inside someone else's frames (which is very irritating. Yahoo
used to be a big offender)

that's why I prefer tabbed browsing rather than the traditional browsing
mode...

Not done in purpose. Lots of sites have that kind of stupid things. For
example, all sites that "redirect" you to another using a meta refresh
tag, instead of a proper HTTP redirect. If you click back, you end in
the redirection page, which kicks you back to the page you were in.

Second paragraph.

I can't get off the page unless I click 5 times 'really' fast on the
back button in IE6 (just discovered that in angry mode! Grr!) :)
If I do it normally, (ie, slow), I would never get off the page. I don't
know, to me it's really weird, but your explanation to my original post
sounds likely and probable.
Is there no other way around using that code for a website with
frames? BTW, to me frames always = tables. What am I missing with this?

Well yes, but seriously, I have real problems trying anything other than
I'm used to that works well 'normally' for me. And then you get this. Don't
get me wrong, I knew about this years ago, and even have some code lying
around here somewhere (I think, I used to have it), that could do it for my
works website, but I'd never want that behaviour.
And yes, I've always had FF loaded up and ready to go, but never use it.

No need. There's a small arrow next to the back button in IE 6 (on the right
side in my browser). Click that and you'll get a drop down list of your
browsing history. Select the second entry down (which should read something
about google images). No screen shot. Is past my bed time already.

Frames != tables. Tables are a layout tool (an abused one). Frames are used
to create sub 'windows' within one site
Some years ago there was a rash of people loading other people's content in
their own frames, making it look as if they were the author of the content.
Many website designers (myself included) have code to ensure that their site
is not loaded into other people's frames

...which leads us nicely onto "pages that use JavaScript for links".
You know, like on Zazzle, where you open a product in another tab, and
the *original* tab also changes location, completely negating the entire
*point* of tabbed browsing? >_<
