Can't go Back

[DeepBlerg]

Hi,

I have 2 versions of a page, (iewelcome and nswelcome) -- the user passes through a browser detection page which then redirects them to the relevant page depending on their browser.

My problem is once the user arrives at iewelcome the "Back" button on the browser brings them back to the browser detection page and thus they end up at the same page.

Is there a script where I could program the "Back" button on the browser to go back 2 pages? Or another way around this?

Thanks,
Tim

no you can't change the back button - the only solution i see is to use some javascript, and REPLACE in the history list the browser detection page with the ie or ns page
this is done like this
location.history.replace("iewelcome.html&quot
instead of
location.href="iewelcome.html"

I believe you can pass an arguement to the history.back function.

history.back(2); should work. ===

That won't help if the back button from menubar is clicked!
But true, it is a pity you can't redefine object functions - like you can event handlers, maybe you can? -BB "Alright whatever man, I'll hook up the hair, but I aint touchin the ring...Cause I'm still a pla--yer"
