Probably a really stupid question

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.

FWIW, automatic preloading of links on the same page has been attempted since 1998. It has never really worked.

Thanks, UT, gonna try 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:

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!
