    [127227: Hodgkin's] Impede Browser Functionality Error regarding Back button

     I've written a very simple app. and am having difficulty getting it approved.  I'm hung up on the following error:

     

    Feedback from MySpace admins: 1. User Experience / Functionality: Impede Browser Functionality. When a visitor (who does not have the application installed) visits the profile of a user and clicks on the <AppTitle>, he is taken to the App Profile surface. Clicking on the “Back” button of the browser once, does not bring the user back to the previous page.

     

    The app. in question is:  http://www.myspace.com/450878784

     

    Other than the picture and wording on the canvas page, all code is an exact copy of one of my other apps. that was approved and has been active for quite some time:  http://www.myspace.com/407719314 (*** Cancer Awareness)

     

    Does anyone have any ideas so that I can get past this error?

    When anyone clicks on the app title, they are automatically directed to the canvas.

    It looks like you've got a check on the canvas where, if the user doesn't have the app installed, he is redirected to the app profile page. When he clicks the back button, he goes back to the canvas but is again redirected to the app profile, making him stuck in this loop.

    It may have been missed by the reviewer in your previous app, but unfortunately you're going to have to correct this problem in both applications.

     Hi nosheen,

     Thanks so much for clarifying!  Smile I believe I've found and removed the offending code.  I've re-submitted for review.
