I have a home page that has a few links on it. If I follow a link from my
home page that has security associated with it, it'll bring up another page
that asks for a username and password. If I click back on that page it
doesn't bring me back, it keeps me on that page. Could the person that wrote
the html have made a mistake in not capturing the page it was coming from? It
supposedly works fine in Firefox but I was told that I have to occasionally
double click to truly get back because it's an "IE issue"

Thanks in advance

What may be happening is that Back is taking you back to a page
which automatically redirects to the page you started from.
In that case it isn't really doubleclicking that's needed so much as
pressing Back a second time soon enough to prevent the redirect
from occurring.

To be clear about what you are doing use either the Go to... list in the
View menu (e.g. press Alt-V,o) or the Back button's dropdown list
and pick the entry explicitly.
