Should-have: Using the back button from any question page sends the user back to the identity page without a warning #83

Closed DarkSymmetry closed 9 years ago

Pressing the browser back-button from any question page will send the user back to the identity page without warning. Can we warn users against doing this? Users are more likely to want to go back one question, than to go back to the identity page, so it would probably frustrate them to be sent back to the identity page without a warning.

I looked at this and i started by adding a catch in general if the user refreshes after giving us data that warns them that they will loose their data.

But to fix the jump back to the beginning of the section is going to take more work

Confirmed: The warning msg works well. Using the back button on survey questions returns the user to the identity page still. @skiano: Is it feasible to fix that?

Let's leave it as-is. The browser saves the data has been entered so far,
