    Hi ... I never notice this before and now I'm curious to know ... I'm using IE 8 RC and I notice if I use the backspace key it acts like the back buttom for websites , Is this normal ?

    Thanks

    Seems to be - nice find :)

    Works in Firefox too and maybe in earlier versions of IE.

    I have known about that keyboard shortcut for a while. And Yes using backspace to go back to a previous webpage does work in IE7 and IE6.
