I'm using an event handler to go to the previous URL/route:
'click #back': ->
history.back()
This works in Chrome desktop, Chrome devtools mobile device view, and in Safari on a physical device itself (iOS 8.1.2), but not in Chrome on the device. Behavior is:
- Load /
- Click link to /foo
- URL changes to /foo, and foo template renders
- Click #back
- URL changes to / briefly, then changes back to /foo. The page body does not change. (Correct behavior is the URL permanently changes to /, and the / templates are rendered, without a page load.)
- Click #back second time
- / is reloaded from server
Is this a mobile Chrome problem, or should I be using some iron-router API like Router.back()
?
history.back()
is the method supported byiron-router
, it just appears there's a problem with iOS Chrome.
