Offering a link to the user which calls history.back() seems to mask the problem that we're not leveraging any built-in method for tracking a user's last search task. What happens if I click from the normal view to the MARC view, and then I want to go back to the search results? I can click the "return to search" link, but it will end up sending me to the detail page. And that's leaving aside the fact that a solution based on javascript isn't a universal one. But hey, we have an OPAC search history feature now--how can we make that work to fix this bug? Now we just need someone to tap into that search history to put the 'back to results' link on the bib record - because that's where patrons are looking for it :) not in 'search history' |
