Changing Back Button Value

[carpedick]

I am having problems with 2 pages that I call from another page which detects the version of a users browser and then forwards them to one of these 2 other pages.

The problem comes when the user tries to push the back button, they are then sent back to the browser detecting page which sends them right back to where they were. I've put a link to the previous page on the page, but the user wants to push the back button to go back. Any ideas on how to overcome this? Possibly changing the value of the last history item or something to that effect?

In your detection script, use:
location.replace("

http://www.somewhere.com/new_page.html");

try using "Javascript:history.go(-2)"
