    why does backspace take you back to the previous page?


    Well, I guess we never mistakenly hit the back key to find out now did we? *Biggrin

    In fact, I don't remember ever seeing it on a combo keys list.

    It also works on Mac OS X in Firefox and SeaMonkey.

    You can disable it in Firefox, (about:config), but I have no clue how to disable it in Spartan!

    browser.backspace_action [Integer] - Determines what the Backspace key does in Firefox. The default value of 0 in Windows means that pressing Backspace on a web page will take you back a page; if set to 1, you will scroll up the page when Backspace is pressed; if set to 2 or above, pressing Backspace on a page will have no impact. This preference does not apply to pressing the Backspace key in any text box on a page.

    Yes, the link earlier in this thread stated that there is no was of disabling it in IE, so spartan is probably similar.
