Using "back" button in IE

[racorby]

I've been going back and forth between Opera Mobile and IE.

I like browsing with IE because I can page down and up using the volume slider and then move from link to link using the dpad - best of both worlds.

What does NOT work consistently is going back to where I started using the "back" button in IE (this works always in Opera). Specifically, I am using Bloglines with a long list of threads. I select a thread, read it, and then want to go back to the same place in the list. But instead it takes me to the beginning of the list. Is there a way to fix this?

Or, is there a way to scroll the same in Opera? Volume slider for page and dpad for link. I suppose either solution would meet my needs, but I would like Opera a little better.

You can use the small program "smartskey" to do this. It turns the volume slider into a page up/page down, where as the dpad continues to go from link to link.

The OEM kitchen version of smartskey is on the ftp under apache/kitchen oems/smartskey If you aren't cooking your own rom, then just take the two files in the smartskey folder and put them in your windows directory. Once you run the program 1 time, it will automatically start at startup. Other features include holding the right softkey to really close programs, while the left softkey drops down the "start menu". The dpad also gives options when in phone mode (previous call history, etc.)

Try the program, you will love it, and it should help you with your browser issue.

Here's some more info on SmartsKey and in that article there are some links to the forums where it was developed if you need even more info.

I have Smartskey, but the volume slider does not seem to work with Opera Mobile. If someone has figured it out...that would be great.
