Hi,
I like how cflocation can redirect a page, but it's still easy to go back: it doesn't redirect again (just skips the redirect page) and make it difficult to go back.

I'm wondering if there is something similar that I can use to submit a form so that when the user presses the back button, it doesn't bring them to the page that sorted information and sent it.

Please let me know.

Ryan
 
Javascript would be the next possible alternative.

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0; url=http://site.com/page.html">

<script>
window.location="</script>


There are tons of ways to do it, so you might want to go to google and search for "javascript redirect".

Does this answer your Q?
 
If you didn't want to use javascript, you could just "bounce" them to 2 or 3 pages with <cflocation> so they would have to click back 2 or 3 times to get back to where they were. :)



Hope This Helps!

Thanks. I used cflocation and just put the variables in the url instead of form.
