The BACK-Button on Internet Explorer for Macintosh

This browser — Internet Explorer for Mac — is rarely used now (in 2009) so you can safely ignore this page.

      The way it should be:  In every other browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer for PC, in Netscape Navigator for PC and Mac, Firefox for PC and Mac, Safari for Mac,...) when you click an inside-the-page link and then use the BACK-button, the browser takes you back to where you were.  For example, if you click a link that takes you to the top of a page (to Screen 1), and then you read through several screens until you're at the top of Screen 4, where you click a link that takes you to a related subject later in the same page (on Screen 7) and then use the BACK-button, you're back at the top of Screen 4, which is where you want to be, seeing exactly what you were seeing (so you know where you are), ready to immediately resume your reading.
      The way it is:  With Internet Explorer for Mac, the BACK-button takes you back to where you were the last time you were taken somewhere with a link.  In the example above, the BACK-button would take you to the top of Screen 1, which is not where you want to be.  Before you can resume reading, you must scroll your way through the screens, looking for where you were, until you finally get back to where you were.  This is very disorienting, distracting, and irritating, and it wastes your valuable time.

      Conclusion:  Due to this extremely poor design feature, for some pages (those with lots of inside-the-page links) I'll suggest that you avoid IE-for-Mac, which in other respects is a good browser that I often use. [that I often used a LONG time ago]  { For example, I like the Web Archive feature of IE, which is useful for downloading an entire web-page including the graphics. }
