Hello Everyone,

Good Day to all!

Below observation are tested in Arelle Desktop Version: 2.37.69

When a user tries to view iXBRL facts in the iXBRL viewer, we have observed that when they use the back tab, the viewer first displays the last selected attribute values window and other related windows before returning to the source page.

For more clarity, please refer to the attached video clip. Also, could you confirm if this is the expected behavior or if it indicates a system bug?

Expected behavior: When the user clicks the back tab, they should be taken directly to the source page, not to the attribute window previously selected in the iXBRL preview page.

Current behavior: Users see the iXBRL fact attribute window before reaching the source page.

Note: I do not have permission to attach video clips.

Hi Ganesh,

I'm not sure if you're referring to 1. the Arelle iXBRL viewer, or 2. the SEC inline XBRL viewer? I'm also not sure what is meant by "last selected attribute values window". Can you provide a screenshot of what you're referring to?

Kind regards,

Austin Matherne

Austin, thank you for the mail! I'm having trouble getting authorization to attach the pertinent screen grabs, but once I have permission, I'll upload with further details.
