javascript - Is there a way using Jquery to detect the back button being pressed cross browsers

Question

I have a website that is on a slide show and when the user presses the back button I would like it to go back to the album view not the prior and prevent page. Is there a way of doing this? thanks for any help or advice.

jQuery Address provides strong cross-browser support for browser history and Ajax crawling:

UPDATE:

you can find a good sample right here:

some code in short:

 $(function() {
    $('a').click(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $.address.value($(this).attr('href'));
    });
    var changecount = 0;
    $.address.change(function(e) {
        if (typeof e !== 'function') {
            $('span').html(changecount++);
        }
    });
 });?
