SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Internet Explorer, you are unable to navigate back to the previous Web page when you click the Back button.

Internet Explorer loops endlessly between a Web page that you cannot open, and a frameset Web page.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the Web site author created a frameset by using a source (SRC) of http:///www.example.com, in which there is one extra (/) forward slash

NOTE: This incorrect URL (http:///www.example.com) also appears in the History file.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, contact the author of the Web site to have them remove a (/) forward slash from the frameset source.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, right-click the Back button and select the previous Web site from the context menu.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
