Web Tip: Blocking the Back Button

You are navigating Xojo web 2.0 apps and your use the browser’s back button to return to the previous page of the app. But rather than taking you to the previous page, you get a message that the app lost connection to the sever. This is even more common on a mobile device where we tend to use the back gesture to return to the previous page.

Converting Web Projects to Web Framework 2.0

With the release of Xojo 2020r1 comes the new 2.0 version of our web framework.
