Weird Backspace problem with IE

Please visit World War 2 Collectibles - World War 2 Tanks , go down the page to the last item, Panzer IV - Replica. Click on "WATCH VIDEO" and then click on back space to get back to the list of tanks. You should now see what my issue is.

I appreciate any input.

Thanks,

A clue as to what we're looking for would be helpful, but tried that and clicked backspace and just got back to the same bit that I was reading previously. Thats in IE8 at least.

Best bet with videos however would be to embed them into a popup then you don't lose the visitor off to YouTube where they might never come back.

The Panzer Tank gets completely displaced, the picture and the text look very disorganized. This is what happens for me at least. This usually happens for the last items on almost each of my pages. Try the same test for the World War 2 medals please.

Yes, you are right about the pop-up, I will change that.

Thanks

Not sure - still working for me in WinXP IE8. Ran the vid all the way through just incase but looks exactly the same when I go back. Guess it's a glitch with earlier IE or summut.

Also works fine in Chrome.

Wouldn't it be better to include the Youtube embed code into the page? You can alter the size of the video and make it very small but not small enough to lose the full screen link. That way users can watch the video full screen without leaving the site or shoot off to Youtube without them leaving your site as the video displays a link that opens a new window to Youtube.

Tried in firefox - and it's fine too. I've seen browsers with dodgy toolbars installed that cause problems like this, make sure you've checked for this and run an adaware/spyware scan.

I think the problem essentially is the fact it's built in a table and possibly due to a different or browser default settings for the visited state of the links breaking the table.
The source code is, frankly, horrific and I wouldn't be able to spot nor solve the problem if I was given a week.
The first thing I would do is recode the site but failing that, try ensuring the a:visited style is the same as the other states and that every table column <td> has a fixed width.

@MKJones - It looks like the video owner has disabled embedding.
