Use simple JavaScript trick to add Forward action to IE in Windows Phone
IE on Windows Phone is very basic when it comes to action. There are most of the things available to get your job done but few features need to be there. Today I am sharing small tips which you can use to make your life little easy with IE on Windows Phone using JavaScript.
Adding a Forward Action to the browser :
While the back button on the Windows Phone lets you get back to the last visited page, there is no way to get back to the page you just left i.e. Go Forward. Good thing, you can still get it done by following the steps below:
- Open any website on IE and tap Add to Favorites in the menu bar.
- Here you have option to edit name and address.
- Type !Forward in the name section and
javascript:self.history.forward()in the address section and save.
Next time you want to go forward on any page, hit the menu bar > Favorites > !Forward. The exclamation mark make sure that the those stay on top of all your favorites.
Similarly you can add few more shortcuts:
- Jump to Top : javascript:scroll(0,0).
- Go Back : javascript: self.history.go(-1). [ Useful if your back button is making you exist IE]
While rest of the features are already available on IE, I am sure you should be using something similar that helps get this small jobs done quickly. Share what kind of hack you are using on your Windows Phone with IE.
