Pinterest "Pin it" button, breaking "back" in Internet Explorer

I recently found out that in Internet Explorer (at least v9) the “Pin it” button for Pinterest violates the “back” functions in the browser. Right-clicking on it displays an entry similar to ' http://assets.pinterest.com/pidget.html ' as the previous page.

It looks like Pinterest is adding an iFrame, and IE is adding its address to the story. Tapping back does nothing. Is this a known issue and is there a fix for this?

well, as a temporary solution (except for removing the pin it button), from reading their code, I believe (not verified) that you could add a part of the <script> call to disable logging, for example ...

 <script type="text/javascript" src="//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js" data-pin-do-not-log="true"></script>

This works, but it doesn’t apply to me because I load the script asynchronously and I use the load command, so I did this by copying the pinit.js file locally to the server and changing the part that says

 if(avconfig["do-not-log"]||aadoNotLog===true)

to

 if(avconfig["do-not-log"]||aadoNotLog===true||true)

it looks like it is doing some kind of log in iframe.

I had the same problem. I added the site to the list of restricted sites by going to "Tools", then "Internet Settings", then "Security". He seems to have solved the problem.

This was a temporary mistake when we first clicked on the new Pin It button and should no longer be a problem, since we deleted the registration frame shortly after it appeared. Excuse for troubling!
