COmanage Developers List

[Marie Huynh <>]

I think I've found all the broken back links.  Some are forgetting the CO, which should be an easy fix.  Some have multiple entry points and one hardcoded back button.  We can have multiple "back" buttons that say "back to X page" and "back to Y page" and let the user choose one.  We could also just use this _javascript_ option that will back up through history or make a best guess if _javascript_ is off:

I've attached my notes on what happens when navigating through the
dropdown menu and then via links on the following pages.  It's in
spreadsheet-form.

Breadcrumbs are useful when there are many levels that people might
want to return to.  Given the existence of the dropdown menu, it's not
difficult for users to get to other parts of the site and I don't
think this adds anything useful at this time.  I propose we figure out
where cancellations/backs should go and if there should be a default
in order to fix them.  We'll have to deal with the case of forms that
have multiple points of entry - should they cancel out into a more
general place(some major landing page) or should we rely on a browser
back button?  Alternatively, we could record history for backing up,
but that could get ugly.
