Is there anyway to get a dual listbox configuration to remember where list items are when the user uses the browser back button?
In the use case where you're using a dual list box say, for picking output columns on a search - it can get pretty frustrating for the user to click back and find that both the columns he selected and the order of said columns have been lost.
When I wrote my own dual list box javascript component (before Telerik came out with theirs), I wrote an entry every time a field moved into a hidden field. I had a method on the body load that read the hidden field and repositioned the items whenever the page was loaded, except for the first time. Since hidden fields will stay put on a postback, this is a reliable way of pulling back a users selections and order when the back button is pressed.
Does anyone else feel me on this?
